About Jeannine Marie Pitas

I am originally from Buffalo, NY but am fortunate to call many places home. I am a teacher, poet, scholar, freelance journalist, book reviewer, and the Spanish-English translator of several Latin American writers. My translation of I Remember Nightfall by Uruguayan poet Marosa di Giorgio was shortlisted for the 2018 National Translation Award given by the American Literary Translators' Association. A graduate of University of Toronto's Centre for Comparative Literature, I currently live in western Pennsylvania and teach literature and writing at Saint Vincent College. Or/And is my second full-length collection of poetry.
