Interviews, Press and Public Writing

Interviews, etc.

Interview with Julie Carr on her podcast Return the Key about flamenco, voice, Nathaniel Mackey, Édouard Glissant and my poetics in Seguiriyas (Black Ocean, 2023).

Interview with Robert Elms about my scholarly work on flamenco’s lyrics on BBC Radio 3, as part of a special entitled Flamenco Is Like the Sun.

Interview with C. Derick Varn on Varn Vlog to discuss diaspora poetics, form, lyric subjectivity, medieval troubadour lyric, flamenco and contemporary poetry.

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.
