Agradezco a Literal Magazine la publicación de mi artículo sobre el discurso inaugural de Claudia Sheinbaum como presidenta de México, y a Luvina, esa hermosa revista producida por la Universidad de Guadalajara, por publicar mi texto “Primavera en Paréntesis”.

Resurgimiento de “La sed” / “La sed” is out again

Es un enorme placer informarles que mi primera novela La sed (2001), inicialmente editada con Colibrí, acaba de ser reeditada por Paraíso Perdido. Es la oportunidad de leerla para aquellos lectores que llevaban años buscándola sin poder encontrar ejemplares. ¡Ojalá la gocen!

It’s a great pleasure to let you know that my first novel La sed (The Thirst, 2001), first published by Colibrí in Mexico, has just been reissued by Paraíso Perdido (in Spanish only, I’m afraid). This will give the chance to read it to all those readers who had been looking for it for years, unable to find copies. I hope you enjoy it! https://editorialparaisoperdido.com/libro/la-sed/

Book launch of ‘Flint’

My poetry pamphlet Flint (Contraband Books) will be launched on Friday 27th May at King’s College. I will be in conversation with author Quentin S. Crisp, followed by a reading from the book. The event is organised by UNAM UK. I hope you can come!

For some reason, if I want to add the link, a horrible “embedded” Eventbrite page appears instead, so here’s the info:

Friday 27th May, at 5.30 pm, at King´s College, London, Strand campus, Kings Building. K6.63, WC2R 2LS.
