title = "My Poetic Feminism Between Peru and the U.S.: Carmen Gim{\'e}nez Smith",
abstract = "Born and raised in New York City until the age of ten to a Peruvian mother and Argentine father, Carmen Gim{\'e}nez Smith spent her formative years in San Jos{\'e}, California. She reveals the significance of developing her feminist consciousness in her poetry and essays by paying tribute to second wave feminism and her mother. Although she was educated and trained as a poet in the U.S., she explains the importance of returning to Lima as an adult and becoming immersed in contemporary Peruvian culture and literature. In addition to earning awards and honors for her poetry and memoir, Gim{\'e}nez Smith comments on the current status of poetry in the United States, Latina/o poets in particular, international poets and her engagement with popular culture.",
