My new book of poems and essays “Taal” is out now with Pamenar Press @pamenarpress ♥️

Taal is a love letter to the tabla, the musical drum from India; it is also a homage to several poets & musicians and their ideas of rhythmic cycles.

"but love, relentless love"

A pleasure, all of it: finding this envelope waiting in Santiago, opening the red tissue paper w galactic sticker, admiring the postcard & signature, then starting on the slim volume, seductive in its lyricism. Thank you Katrina Moinet @KMoinetwrites

Someone gifted me this book by @jess_sequeira a while ago and it’s like a cross between scripture and a furious manifesto. So good!

[Jessica Sequeira @jess_sequeira]

@jakkybeefive Thank you for reading!

[Ron Restrepo @Drhr90]

The delightful synchronicity of finishing this inspired book from ⁦@7StoriesPress⁩ seamlessly translated with a wonderful note by ⁦@jess_sequeira⁩ followed by a Dali museum visit. The egg prevails.

I wrote about The Gold Seekers, a book I read recently and loved, for @parisreview! It’s my kind of book. I hope you seek it out too!

[Sublunary Editions @sublunaryeds]

Thanks, @MattBroaddus!

Nuestra colaboradora Berenice Ramos (Estética UC, Centro de Estudios Asiáticos UC) nos envió esta reflexión sobre la importancia de la obra de Han Kang 🌿🙏

And here was our first album “Mistralswagen” which featured lyrics by Gabriela Mistral from Poema de Chile and Lagar II

All of this came together in the last year, an attempt to create something different with poetry. I wonder where it will go next . . .

Here you can listen to the EP “Supriya”, a journey of guzheng, tabla, guitar and song, with lyrics by Gabriela Mistral and Rabindranath Tagore.

“Supriya” is “well loved” in Sanskrit. A chapter of Taal @pamenarpress reflects on making this music 🙏

Here is a photoessay by Paloma de Dinechin & Nicola Zolin, in my translation, about scientific attempts to record the Amazon rainforest soundscape to protect biodiversity & indigenous peoples. It discusses potentials & ethical concerns of this technology.

Everything can be fake news, but not the fallen, not the bomb that grinds up a child, not the face of the father screaming by his side.
