Two and a half years later, Efraín returned to the United States and completed two graduate degrees at the University of Wisconsin.\nFor 25 years, Efraín was employed for the State of Oregon and Multnomah County. Many of those years were spent as an Administrator for the Department of Aging and Disability Services. Upon his leaving, one of his employees described Efraín as “a legend in our midst: Philosopher, teacher, artist, poet, director—a true Renaissance Man.”\nHis poetry has been published in Expreso, The Oregonian, The Hispanic News, The National Catholic Reporter, and several newsletters. He is the author of the following poetry books The Many Faces of Love (1983), Aire, agua y cenizas (2011), Cuatro poemas (2011), The Anvil of God (2011), The Life of Oceans (2014), 1ra Antología de la poesía oregoniana (2018), Relative Poetry (2018), 2da Antología de la poesía oregoniana (2019) and Cuando llegues al fondo, cava más abajo (2019)- a translation of Kim Stafford’s poetry. Efraín has been a member of the Oregon Council for the Humanities, The Regional Arts and Culture Council, the Oregon United Nations Association, the Silverton Poetry Association, board member of the Oregon Poetry Association, the Instituto de Cultura Oregoniana, has chaired the Oregon Hispanic Commission, etc.\nThe Salem Poetry Project continues at the Bush Barn Annex, 600 Mission St SE, Salem. Parking for the Bush Barn and Bush House is located off of High Street and the Annex entrance is just to the left of the main entrance.
