Her contributions extend beyond academia. She is also a poet, and in 2002 she released the milestone book Exchanging Lives: Poems and Translations , where she entered into a "conversation" with Alejandra Pizarnik by setting her own poems next to her translations of the late Argentine poet [13†L11-L13].
