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
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.
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 🙏

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 . . .

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.
