I hear whispers of waves, a deep swell, an undiscovered timbre, an arcane breeze. (The seashell forms the figure of a heart.) —From “Seashell” by Rubén Darío, tr. Jonathan Simkins @simkinsandrade tinyurl.com/4uhbma3b

O pines, O brothers of the earth and air, I love you. You are sweet, and good, and solemn, and surely, I would say, you think and feel, attended to by poets, birds, and dawns. —From “Song of the Pines” by Rubén Darío, tr. Jonathan Simkins @simkinsandrade tinyurl.com/4uhbma3b

@creepydotorg Or simply had an organically induced psychotic episode.

@creepydotorg I’m going to read more about this fascinating case, but perhaps he dosed with a psychedelic and found a dry place to shelter from the storm?

In 2006, this Argentinian police officer was found after an 18-hour search in a state of complete shock. He said "short beings with red eyes" had taken him and he had "memories like he was in his mother's womb." He was found 20 km away he was last seen with his clothes dry despite heavy rain.

From #Ecuador, THE TREASURE OF THE LLANGANATES by Paúl Puma, translated by Jonathan Simkins. Defying oblivion, an indigenous ruler rises again. (NB this will be an extract, accompanying Tropical Pharaoh in full.) #OOTW2024 Friday July 19 @OmnibusTheatre omnibus-clapham.org/out-of-the-win…
