Sarah Arvio

Sarah Arvio’s Poet in Spain: New Translations of the poetry of Federico García Lorca, garnered wide acclaim. Her previous book, night thoughts: 70 dream poems & notes from an analysis, is a hybrid work: poetry, essay and memoir. Earlier books of poems are Visits from the Seventh and Sono: cantos; a new volume is forthcoming. Arvio, who attended the School of the Arts in New York, has won the Rome Prize and fellowships from the Guggenheim and Bogliasco foundations and National Endowment for the Arts. For many years a translator for the United Nations in New York and Geneva, she has also taught poetry at Princeton. A longtime New Yorker, she has resided in Paris, Rome, Madrid, Mexico City and Caracas.
