He is the author or co-editor of over fifteen books and special journal issues, including two books on neo-avant garde Chilean poet Juan Luis Martínez: La última broma de Juan Luis Martínez: ‘No sólo ser otro sino escribir la obra de otro’ (Santiago: Cuarto Propio, 2014) and Juan Luis Martínez’s Philosophical Poetics (Bucknell University Press, 2014; trans.
