My friend and fellow poet, Martin Gubbins, from Santiago de Chile will be
in NY late may for a few days and wrote to *me to ask if I knew of anyone
who could set him up with a gig.
I am rather out of it. Haven't been to NY for many years.
Martin is rather busy anyway and I said I would ask around to see if I can
put him in touch with someone, while he gets on with being busy. I do like
his poetry - visual and sound work. I haven't seen him perform for a few
years; but he was good then and I have no reason to think he isn't now. I
have seen a video of him performing electrro-acoustic sound work. Very
good. No, impressive. He's a worker. Speaks good English. So English and
Spanish -- he should survive quite well in the states.
Through Writers Forum I published a substantial book of his a few years ago
Anyone with direct or indirect advice is encouraged to email me. I'd like
to get something. And I can put people in touch with him for detailed
arrangements
