Hi All,
I found a book in the window of a bookstore while perambulating around Harvard Square called "Tango The Art History of Love" by Robert Farris Thompson. c2005. Seems to be well researched although I haven't had the time to read it from cover to cover.

Another interesting book of poems has just come out. Elizabeth Garber an acupuncturist in Maine and a poet has published "Listening Inside the Dance, A Life in Maine Infused With Tango." This is a substantial collection of poetry, and the tango poems are translated into Castellano by Demian Gawianski. The poems have titles such as: "The Night Plane to Buenos Aires," "Ode to Dulce de Leche," "Making the Cross," and "The Panther." This last one is about Alicia Pons, whom I've had the pleasure of taking many lessons with, and can attest to Elizabeth capturing the feeling of being in Alicia's presence. Elizabeth will be reading her works, with Demian and musicians in Buenos Aires in early November. The book can be found on Amazon.com or by emailing Elizabeth at <ewgarber (at) adelphia.net>.

"...Slowly articulating the unfolding of her panther's
foot to the touch of earth, her weight shifting,
and she pauses there.

All the time in the world pauses for that
moment for one foot to lift, collect and cross."

Friends,
yours truly has gone one more step into the direction of the lifestyle of a
Bohemian, and has joined a group of absinthe drinking poets. (the absinthe
is mine)
Now, the first one of my poems has appeared on the web, and it is about
tango:

For more poems, added links, or publishing, etc., please contact me
directly.

Absinthe? visit:

https://www.feeverte.net/
https://www.wormwoodsociety.org/

and perhaps

https://www.oxygenee.com/

and see you on the fora (if you're not already a member).

I hope your absinthe isn't crappy "high thujone" Czechsinth
(which is absinthe less than ballroom tango is tango),
but real French or Swiss absinthe ;).
