essays, poems, critiques

I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and have since made my way up the Americas, from the Everglades to the Bay Area, to where I currently live in McCall, Idaho. At present, I study philosophy and classical studies at Hampden-Sydney College, a small, all-male liberal arts school in Farmville, Virginia.

This website serves a portfolio of sorts—a curated amalgamation of my works and ideas. I hope you enjoy it. Check it out, browse around, and stay as long as your heart desires.

To the left is Cushing Hall, the oldest four-story dormitory in the United States. I guess every school has the oldest “thing.” And I’m quite happy with living in the school’s oldest building. There is something about the old and often incomprehensible nature of these buildings that really gets me going. So even with your creaky pipes, concaved floors, and miraculous way of infecting the entire building with the smell of pot, I love you.

To the right is “Bohdi’s Grove,” a psychedelic jazz-folk classic rock cover band. I am pictured farthest left. We started out as a group of lads jamming out with borrowed gear in the cramped music basement of Brinkley Hall. Now we are a group of lads jamming out with borrowed gear on a cramped stage in fraternity basements, but we get paid!
