La primera, entitulada “Poesía al limite,” de Rocío Cerón, echa una miradita hacia las “nuevas” formas […]

Regular readers of the site will have noticed that I’m not posting new material nearly as often as in the past, and that most of the posts in the last few months have been videos. Signs of the times, amigos.

Hola a tod@s,
well, we’re two months into jamming on the new Verbobala piece, whose working […]

Here’s little videoart piece that I made a few weeks ago. All this time spent with Adam and Moisés is wearing off on me big time. Here’s the ‘official’ dish:

Hola a tod@s,
Me da mucho gusto invitarles a tod@s al festival PoesíaEnVozAlta.07, que comenzará esta semana en la ciudad de México. El año pasado me quedé con ganas, no logré asistir a pesar de que presentaron unos artistas increíbles. Puede ser que éste es el festival de poesía contemporánea más […]

Yes, I am alive. Yes, there is a hurricane on either side of this country. But by the time the hurricanes reach Cuernavaca, they are long, calm, “female rains” as Emily would call them. They’ve already combed their eyelashes with the coastal trees, as Jewel would put it.

Between english indie rock and a naked crowd: the new Mexico City?
A couple weeks ago, on a Sunday just before dawn, 20,000 people were standing in the center square of […]

Este jueves pasado tuve la oportunidad de exponer un tema en la conferencia UNINTERlingua aquí en Cuernavaca. UNINTERlingua es una conferencia de lingüística que este año tenía como enfoque "Comunicación: palabra, imagen y acto," organizado por la Universidad Internacional.
