Description and Reader Names: Daniel Borzutzky is a Chilean-American writer and translator who currently lives in Chicago but was born and raised in Pittsburgh. Some of his works include, The Performance of Becoming Human (currently a finalist for the National Book Award in Poetry), In the Murmur of the Rotten Carcass Economy, Bedtime Stories for the End of the World!, Data Bodies, The Book of Interfering Bodies and The Ecstasy of Capitulation. Additionally, he has translated Raul Zurita’s The Country of Planks and Song for His Disappeared Love and Jaime Luis Huenun’s Port Trakl. His work has been supported by the Illinois Arts Council, The National Endowment for the Arts and the Pen/Heim Translation Fund.

He has been positively recognized by several writers and reviewers, including Carleen Tibbetts in American Microviews and Interviews, who remarks, “Borzutzky manages to instill a hope in his readers that although we remain trapped in our putrid and failing bodies, we, too, will succeed in our spiritual mission to persevere.”

The SVC Visiting Writers Series has brought many writers of merit to Saint Vincent ever since its founding in 2008, including Ben Lerner, Carmen Gimenez Smith and Rick Hilles. The series presents writers from a diverse number of locations, from Western Pennsylvania and beyond.
