His second collection\, Southernmost: Sonnets (Chatto & Windus\, 2025)\, was shortlisted for the Forward Prizes for Poetry and praised by The Guardian\, The Telegraph\, and The Morning Star for its lyrical power and fearless engagement with queer\, diasporic experience. Boix’s debut English collection\, Ballad of a Happy Immigrant (Chatto & Windus\, 2021)\, was a Poetry Book Society Wild Card Choice and named one of The Guardian’s top five poetry books of the year. Boix is the editor and lead translator of the groundbreaking Hemisferio Cuir: An Anthology of Young Queer Poetry(Fourteen Publishing)\, and has introduced English-speaking audiences to major Latin American voices including Diana Bellessi\, Jorge Eduardo Eielson\, and José Watanabe. His poems appear in POETRY\, The Poetry Review\, Poetry London\, PN Review\, World Literature Today\, and in many anthologies such as 100 Queer Poems (Vintage) and The Forward Book of Poetry. A fellow of The Complete Works program\, he co-directs Un Nuevo Sol\, nurturing Latinx writers in the UK. His work has been commissioned by Tate Modern\, Kew Gardens\, Projekt Europa and the National Poetry Library\, earning prizes including the Bart Wolffe Poetry Prize\, the Keats-Shelley Prize\, and a PEN Award. \n  \nFor any questions or concerns\, please email Rebecca Foote (rfoote@english.ucla.edu) \nWe hope to see you there! \n  \nThis event is sponsored by the Departments of English\, CCAS\, and Comparative Literature\, as well as the UCI Latinx Humanities Research Cluster.
