Marci Vogel holds a PhD in Literature and Creative Writing from the University of Southern California. She currently serves as an Instructor in the Department of English at USC. As an author, she has written 'Death & Holidays,' which won the inaugural Miami Book Fair Prize for Novella, and 'Border Wilshire,' also a winner of the inaugural Howling Bird Press Poetry Prize. Her poetry, translations, essays, and fiction have appeared in various publications including Jacket2 and Air/Light. Vogel's critical and creative work explores hybrid forms of writing and engages in the poetics of both classical and contemporary poetry. Her scholarly interests encompass the translation of world literatures and experimental writing practices, focusing particularly on women poets across diverse lineages. Her research intersects with issues of linguistic freedom, silence, and the nuances of language in cultural and social contexts. Recent projects include a collaborative translation series, 'Poetics Étrangère,' and a manuscript that combines critical scholarship with creative work based on the late medieval Francophone poet Christine de Pizan. Vogel is also working on new poetry collections and a translation of contemporary Luxembourg poet Anise Koltz, alongside an anthology that focuses on women translating women's works.
