"[D]eciding to use Spanish in a poem, for me at least, is a personal choice that comes with political implications. I don't take the reader into consideration when deciding how to use italics because my choice to include or exclude Spanish in a certain poem reflects my own relationship with Spanish and the people in my poems who speak it."
