Below you’ll see me reading the English originals and my friend Iván Fuentes reading the Spanish translations, where were beautifully done by Patricia Herminia. What you can see are the excellent illustrations done for the book by Sabina Espinet.
For more information about the new book—a bilingual, illustrated edition of 250 copies signed and number by the author (moi)—click here.
What a beautiful evening, and hearing Joe’s poems in Spanish was absolutely musical. Petit Lafitte made the event so special with their care in setting up a beautiful space for the reading.
I love the book, Joe. Almost better than being there.
