Natalia Toledo was born in Juchitán, Oaxaca. Her bilingual poetry (Zapotec-Spanish) has been included in numerous journals and anthologies, and translated into languages as varied as Nahuatl, Italian, and Punjabi. She has received support from the National Fund for Culture and the Arts (FONCA) and the Oaxaca State Fund for Culture and the Arts (FOESCA). Since 2019, she has served as Mexico’s Under Secretary of Cultural Diversity and Literacy.Clare Sullivan, professor of Spanish at the University of Louisville, teaches language, poetry, and translation. She and her students work regularly on translation projects for the Louisville community. Recently she guest edited a special issue of Translation Review: “Translation as Community” Vol 1: Issue 1 (2023). Her collaborative translations of Natalia Toledo and Enriqueta Lunez have appeared in Phoneme Media and Ugly Duckling Presse.

Ms. Magazine, Best Poetry of 2024 and 2025“In Carapace Dancer’s trilingual presentation, the Spanish-speaking reader will notice that this is not a literal translation from the Spanish, but, as Sullivan explains, word choices were made to capture the meaning of the Isthmus Zapotec versions of the poems. In doing so, the translation preserves a sense of cultural and linguistic difference and does not fall into the trap of “domestication.” The collection is fascinating, and it encourages the reader to reread all the versions of the poems.” —World Literature Today
