Tracy K. Lewis
Born in the state of Colorado, Tracy K. Lewis spent most of his early childhood in Ethiopia, until his family returned to settle in the Northern New York town of Potsdam. Education, career, and a deep sense of commitment, however, have added Latin America, and in particular Paraguay, to his multifaceted world-view and poetic identity. Now retired from teaching, Lewis holds the title of Distinguished Teaching Professor Emeritus of Spanish and Portuguese at the State University of New York in Oswego. He is the author of three books of poetry in English, Spanish, and Guarani, plus numerous poems in journals in the US and Latin America. In 2002 he was awarded the Poetry Prize of the Society for Humanistic Anthropology, and in 2012 was honored with the Medal of the Ministry of Education of Paraguay for lifetime contributions to the nation's cultural life. In 2017 he was one of several poets invited to read at the Library of Congress in Washington, DC, as part of that city's annual Maratón of Spanish-language poetry. Lewis lives in upstate New York, but through poetry, his residence is the world. |
