Diana Anhalt left Mexico over nine years ago following close to a lifetime in that country but claims her writing sometimes digs in its heels and refuses to budge. She continues to write about Mexico. Many of her essays, short stories, and book reviews have appeared in both English and Spanish along with her book, A Gathering of Fugitives: American Political Expatriates in Mexico 1948–1965.
Since she first arrived in Atlanta, two of her chapbooks, Second Skin (Future Cycle Press), Lives of Straw (Finishing Line Press), and one short collection, Because There Is No Return (Passager Books), have been published. Her work has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize and has appeared in Nimrod, Concho River Review, The Connecticut River Review, The Atlanta Review, and Spillway, among many others. She believes this is the first time her work has started to lose its Mexican accent.
