Romina Achatz and Alfredo Félix-Díaz are in conversation about poetry, birds, the wild nature, city-animals and the intensification of life through words.

„…access your haptic grooves

kiss your kissing pores

or maybe, bicolored crows,

you’ll be back

as ghosts in other birds

for each call has an echo

and life itself- by which one means love-

is an earworm

implanted

by inscrutable light.“

Alfredo Félix-Díaz
