Heriberto's very knowledgeable, and as a translator tends to take on the barely possible. He's done some Ginsberg, a lot of Rothenberg (a book due any moment in Mexico City), Simon Ortiz, yours truly and a bunch of Armand Schwerner. And he's young enough that the voices aren't fully integrated. But in the context of Mexican poetry what he's doing is very unusual.
