Some of his remarks  will soon be featured on the bio page , I can tell you that much!

Our hold over television screens in the Iberian Peninsula just got stronger: the TVE1 news item about La Noche de los Libros includes a brief mention of the spoken word poetry event which featured, among others, a performance from Smoke and Mirrors. I even appear on screen for about two seconds, around the 1:10 mark, only for the newscaster to say something about “poetas anonimos”, which is good promo if I ever saw any.

You can watch the episode by following this link; the section about the nascent Lisbon poetry slam scene, and our visit to the Music Box, starts around the 49 min mark.

So, national TV! I fully expect paparazzi to show up at my door. Any day now.
