"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!

@jakkybeefive Thank you for reading!

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!

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 . . . open.spotify.com/intl-es/album/…

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 🙏 open.spotify.com/intl-es/artist…

Thank you to Ghazal Mosadeq for the love, support and edits and to Hamed Jaberha for the beautiful edition.

Here is a description of Taal. I am so grateful that there are publishers happy to edit books like this!

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. Raúl Zurita, translated by @jess_sequeira, @MPTmagazine modernpoetryintranslation.com/the-maddening-…
