His translations and original work have been published in Asymptote, Exchanges, Turkoslavia, Honey Literary, Timber Journal and the tiny magazine, among other literary publications. He is a 2026 – 2027 Yiddish Book Center Translation Fellow, and he lives in Mexico City with his wife, child and Pharaoh-Let-My-People-Go the cat.
