Francisco, 1979-1980. He edited Red Coral, a web zine, between 1999 and 2003. He represented the USA at the World Poetry Festival in Caracas, Venezuela, in 2010. Poet Mary Rudge called him "a Master Poet who uses language in a remarkable, innovative way, he gives us information on contradictions in the evolving state of human consciousness." An anthology of his poetry translated into Spanish by Rei Berroa was scheduled to be published by Editorial el Perro y la Rana (Caracas) in 2011. His study of American Indian languages, beginning with Navajo at the Tohajiilee Indian Reservation in New Mexico, led to his translations in Ancient American Poets (2005) of three poets of ancient Indigenous America: Flower Songs by Nezahualcoyotl (Nahuatl–Aztec), Songs of Dzitbalche by Ah Bam (Yucatec Maya), and The Sacred Hymns of the Situa by Pachacuti (Quechua–Inca), along with biographies of the poets. Some of these translations are featured on the web site of FAMSI (Foundation for the Advancement of Meso-American Studies, Inc.), which is scheduled to merge into the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) web site. His transcriptions of Pachacuti poems form the libretto for classical composer Tania León's Ancient (2009). A second expanded edition of For All The People, with a new foreword by Ishmael Reed, was published by PM Press in 2012. Curl's collected poems, Revolutionary Alchemy, with a foreword by San Francisco poet laureate Jack Hirschman, came out that same year. Hirschman wrote: "The importance of this book and John Curl in the pantheon of revolutionary poets… Revolutionary Alchemy is a book of major importance. John Curl has earned a place—with this book of poems—among the foremost revolutionary American poets since the end of WW2."
