Gino P. Paradela
My work primarily deals with the concept of alienation in the urban landscape. I enjoy exploring the artificial construct of “cityness” and what it means to be “citified”. My goal is to deconstruct the distinction between transcendent vs. immanent. It is a sublime experience for me when I am able to write about the profaned sacred, and the sacred profane. For me, poetry is about capturing a moment in peak ecstasy, translating it into words so that it may also be experienced by others.
