Books
My first three books in English articulate various points of tension and of contact between the literary and the sonic.
- Singed. Muted Voice-Transmissions, After The Fire
November 2017
Equus Press, London
Singed articulates a language in trance-lation across different states of speechlessness. A fire, and the effort to remember a lost song, open into a meditation on the transmission of knowledge. The space of writing appears as a material engagement with language which points at its excess; at the ephemeral and the untold which continue to puzzle and enchant, and prompt more writing.
https://equuspress.wordpress.com/singed/ - F.M.R.L. Footnotes, Mirages, Refrains and Leftovers of Writing Sound
April 2015
Zer0 Books, London
F.M.R.L. is a collection of short texts, fragments and deranged essays. It claims the complexity and intermittent incoherence in listening and reading, and works with their residual aspects addressing canons, issues of authenticity and fabulation, degrees of opacity and transparency across languages and cultures.

September 2012
Zer0 Books, London
In En Abîme, listening and reading operate as creative and critical activities driven by memory and return, reshaped into the present. The book introduces an idea of aural landscape as a historically defined cultural experience and adopts listening as an expansive approach across poetry, visual art and literature

With time I have begun to see the three books as chapters of one book, as manifested in this performative reading I did in 2018 at LCC / University of the Arts London:
