Awards
[edit | edit source]Hofer won the 2012 PEN Award for Poetry in Translation, for the poem Negro Marfil/Ivory Black.[6] The PEN Award judges refer to Hofer's translation of Negro Marfil/Ivory Black as a work that "articulates writing as a gesture hovering between binaries, bodies, languages, modes of perception, cultures...[and is] reflexively about translation.[6]
Hofer also won the Harold Morton Landon Translation Award in 2012 for the translation of Myriam Moscona's book Negro Marfil/Ivory Black.[7]
