When I was in New York this past July, I had a brief (very brief) foray into Argentinian tango and so had my first immersion into the music of
THE GOTAN PROJECT. While not the first time I heard their music, it was my first immersion and as I listened to their sounds, it
felt very familiar. And I wondered at its familiarity ... but didn't ponder it much until this last couple of days while editing my forthcoming book. Immersing myself into the manuscript viz close-edits made me realize that I was attempting (hopefully achieved) in this new book a sensibility as I felt in the music of
THE GOTAN PROJECT.
I guess I can suggest then, if you want a preview of my 2014 poetry collection, one way is to check out
THE GOTAN PROJECT on YouTube.
My book, by the way, has a new (moithinks, finally FINAL) title:
REPRODUCTIONS OF THE LOST FLAG: STIGMATA SCULPTURES
I tangoed mucho with developing the title -- guess it had to be that way for these poems...
Labels: Michel's Reproductions of the Lost Flag: Sculptures, Poetics
