"Point of Contact's 30th Anniversary issue is quite compelling,
extremely brave, and most impressive. As editor, Pedro Cuperman, has splendidly accomplished the difficult and subtle task of making the
two American hemispheres converse about the best and most novel that
they have; the most adventurous and venturous, the swiftest, the
future, the intriguing and mysterious. A magnificent coat of arms> takes shape in the extraordinary selection of names and writings, a discourse in originality. Point of Contact can only ascend in its own synthesis, vision and generosity as it continues on its path, ever more lucid and vital. My sincere reverence and enthusiasm for this accomplished work." Ivonne Bordelois, Argentinean linguist, poet, whose recent work titled El país nos habla, (Buenos Aires, Argentina) received the Essay Award given by La Nación & -Editorial Sudamericana in 2006.

PUNTO DE CONTACTO / POINT OF CONTACT honored at the
King Juan Carlos I of Spain Center, NYU
One of the most prestigious international cultural centers in New York City, the King Juan Carlos I of Spain Center at New York University, hosted a special reception to honor the 30th anniversary of Punto de Contacto / Point of Contact on February 2nd, 2007.
Point of Contact was founded by Pedro Cuperman in 1975 at New York University.
Many of its original editorial advisors, currently distinguished faculty at NYU, are still very much involved in the publication as well as other Point of Contact divisions, as the organization has significantly diversified in the course of three decades. To this day, the publication continues to evolve as a venue
for creative scholarship and original art, providing a cross-disciplinary
space for world-renowned as well as emerging writers, artists and scholars. Point of Contact retains an international character, along
with continuing strong ties to Latin-American arts and literature.
