Heaven's Throat

Here I present my work alongside that of others which inspires me in a manuscript in progress as I return to the origin of my poetic practice–doodling and writing bored in church. I’m driven to explore themes of loss, materiality of language, the hidden spectacle, and the pentecostal nonlinearity of time. This playlist features Aída Cartagena Portalatín (Dominican Republic), César Vallejo (Peru), Ḥamda bint Ziyād al-Muaddib (Moorish Andalusia) with classical and modern translations, and Jay Wright (US).
