Latin American Literature Today's June 2025 issue includes a special feature on Associate Teaching Professor Max Ubelaker Andrade's latest translation: Néstor Ponce's boy says (a book with no ending), published in a bilingual Spanish and English edition by the open-access press punctum books. 

From the issue: 

"After leaving Argentina in exile during the dictatorship of the military junta (1976-1983), Néstor Ponce found his way to France, where he now lives. He has written that throughout his life, reading has connected him to a shifting, unstable set of voices—a community of readers and writers that crisscrosses borders of all kinds, unafraid of conflict and contradiction. boy says (a book with no ending) opens to that community with poems that are at once the words of one poet and the traces of an infinite number of poets, some of whom are explicitly named in the titles of the poems."
