Lacks references other than external links to the subject's own sites/publications. Reads like a resume of her career, as in the list of grants, and an advert for her published works. No examination or analysis of her work and significance, if any, nor independent discussion of her relationship to the pantheon of modern poets/authors. A WP:BEFORE search turns up just her books and news reports of one incident in Fall, 2023, when she resigned in protest over the Israel-Hamas war. Fails WP:GNG, and WP:BIO. As far as third party, independent publications about the subject, they are mostly limited to the one event mentioned. Geoff | Who, me? 18:05, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

Clean up and keep: At least three books have been reviewed in Publishers Weekly, which passes WP:NAUTHOR. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 21:55, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- Keep passes WP:NAUTHOR. Books published by university presses seems to clinch that. There are sources about her: like this (which is in the article), which solidifies her notability. Lamona (talk) 06:10, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
