Now Playing: Disquiet Radio - Ep. 5: The Triumphant Day
This week on Disquiet Radio, we arrive at the much-mythologized Triumphant Day of March 8th, 1914 where heteronym Alberto Caeiro (allegedly) emerges.
Featuring Adília Lopes, the appeals of concealed authorship, static dramas, The Mariner, Herman Melville, a brief discussion of the stomp clap revival, and a randomized reading from The Book of Disquiet. Music from Simon & Garfunkel, Slow Pulp, and Vashti Bunyan.
"Imagine, Mother, how someone who feels this way must live, overwhelmed by such painful daily sensations!"
