José Luis Castillejo - The Book of I's

The sound poet José Luis Castillejo is a fascinating guy. Apparently, he was born into Spanish aristocracy and served as ambassador to Hungary in the 1960s, during which time he was also writing and distributing privately-pressed books of his concrete poetry to friends. This piece, recorded in 1997 and 1998 and released as a very small-run LP by Alga Marghen in 1998, features Castillejo reading from one of those books. It's a challenging listen for sure, but I think you can handle it.
