O décimo segundo número da Inefável já está disponível. Neste número é evocada a poesia de Muhammad Ibn ‘Abbâd al-Mu’tamid e são dados a ler poemas de Paulo Jorge Barbosa e de Mariana Basílio. Por fim, o meu grandioso amigo e parceiro Ricardo M Marques apresenta a poesia de Li Bai.

BOA leitura sobre o Tom Waits no Guardian, embora os meus 10 melhores momentos dele fossem outros (como não estão lá o Black Rider e o Alice, a faceta mais teatral?). De qualquer dos modos, é tudo bom:
