Consuelo Arias

CONSUELO ARIAS is a professor, writer, and translator born in New York City to Spanish parents. She has a Ph.D from Princeton University, where she specialized in modern and contemporary Hispanic poetry. She has published critical essays on the construction of the queer subject (Writing the Female Body in the Texts of Cristina Peri Rossi:  Excess, Monumentality and Fluidity [2000] and (Un)veiling Desire: Configurations of Eros in the Poetry of Jaime Gil de Biedma [1993]) in Spanish and Spanish-American literature. In 1998 she published an English-to-Spanish translation, Favorite Latino Authors Share Their Holiday Memories. Her most recent publications, Ramos Otero, de Times Square a Mar Chiquita (2014) and Nueva York o la cartografía de lo híbrido (2015), are fragments of a manuscript comprised of autobiographical essays on growing up bilingual and bicultural in New York City. Ms. Arias has recently completed a Spanish-to-English translation of El Gran criminal (1997) by the renowned Spanish writer Dionisio Cañas. Various texts from the manuscript will be published in the journal Modern Poetry in Translation in early 2017. She has taught at Skidmore, Sarah Lawrence, and various CUNY colleges. Currently she is a Professor of Spanish and Women’s Studies at Nassau Community College.
