A short story by Ecuadorian writer Abdón Ubidia, translated by Nathan D. Horowitz, published in Michigan Quarterly Review, Summer 2000 I had a girlfriend when I was a kid. Her name was Susi. She was skinny and had freckles. I won her over with the only skill I had: imitating animals. It was during summer vacation in a dry little town. Calling Susi my girlfriend is just a manner of speaking. Neither of us knew anything. She and I were just always together. Sometimes we were by ourselves. Sometimes we joined the gangs of kids that roamed the white sand paths, the streams with their banks of red clay, and the eucalyptus woods, or got together in the morning to go down to the swimming pool, or in the night to sing around a bonfire, catch fireflies and gaze at the starry sky. There was a boy who played the accordion. Another recited poetry. Another was famous for his traps to catch three different species of doves. Another boy swam like a fish. I couldn’t do any of these thing...

Miguel Angel Cabodevilla Miguel Angel Cabodevilla is a Capuchin priest, born in Spain, who spent thirteen years in the rainforest working in education and on the preservation of native cultures. Fernando Payaguaje, the drinker of this narrative’s title, was the last of the shaman-chiefs of the Ecuadorian branch of the Secoya tribe,  now known as Siekopai. T his story is from Cabodevilla’s 1998 nonfiction book Oro Creciente. The translation into English, by Nathan Horowitz, appeared  in  Shaman’s Drum Magazine in Autumn, 2003. I knew I would never see him again, alive or dead. He had yielded me his hammock, with the exquisite courtesy that always characterized him. With a silence so close to grief, I observed all his movements, trying to make of them a photo album in my mind, trying to win over death the illusory victory of memory. The cavernous cough that sounded in his chest was like termites hollowing him out inside. He shuffled across the dirt floor of his...

This is the tracklist for my twelfth DJ Toanke / Nighttime Daydreams show on Spirit Plants Radio -- http://www.spiritplantsradio.com/, http://www.spiritplantsradio.com/radioarchives.html#DJToanke. Several years ago, the compulsion to try to make music got hold of me -- first as a complement to my writing, and then as a thing in itself. In the evening, music unplugs me from my work and frees my mind. The sounds in this show include voice, flutes, mouth harps, a synthesizer, a percussion instrument made of four old iron horseshoes, CNN, and computer voices generated by Google Translate. 1.nathandowdhorowitz - Double-Flute Melody 2. nathandowdhorowitz - Adaggio Andino 3. nathandowdhorowitz - Streets of Laredo / Kubing (Bamboo / Mouth Harp) 4. nathandowdhorowitz - Kubing Tune 5. nathandowdhorowitz - Cat Tongue 6. nathandowdhorowitz - Kouxian-Helicopter Duet (Ended by Firecrackers) 7. nathandowdhorowitz - No Items Match Your Search 8. nathandowdhorowitz - Frogsong 9. nathando...

Selection from Icht, poetry by Christian Loidl, read by Nathan Horowitz, with music by Res Kaufmann and Strato Zoo 1. A long, subtle story by Res Kaufmann with three musical interludes. The background: Res mentioned "R@" in some emails to me without identifying who or what that is. I asked. A couple of months later, I got four hour-long CDs in the mail. This is number two, and it's the first half of the second Ra story.  Number one was featured in my last Nighttime Daydreams show. It discussed the difficulties of protecting forests in South America and Europe and told the story of how he found the corpse of a vulture on the highway one day in Switzerland. Res is someone I met a long time ago on another continent.  He's one of the Musicians. 2. I didn't know Christian Loidl, though I feel like I should have. He died sometime in the last de...
