Interviews, etc.
Interview with rob mclennan (Touch The Donkey Supplement #241): we discuss the intertwinement of poetics, historical memory and diasporic ontology that informs my book Seguiriyas, my engagement with translation and multilingual reading, my favorite writers, publishing and more besides.
A curated playlist and musical discussion on Largehearted Boy, produced in conjunction with my recent poetry collection Seguiriyas. I cover medieval troubadour music, modern interpretations of old Sephardic Jewish ballads, flamenco and its contemporary fusions with new-wave and electronic music, jazz, blues, folk, etc.
Interview with Fan Wu in Common Measure: we talk about poetics and politics that navigate the relationship between the individual and the multiple, negotiations between subjects and state power, and the historical force of flamenco’s vocal aesthetics, among other things.
