This is a passion project of mine, a DIY operation, and I’d love for your help in promoting what I’m convinced is a unique and spirited look at an often-ignored art form.

You can find the literature referenced today in Pat Mora’s collection from 1984, Chants, published by Arte Publico Press. Helena Maria Viramontes’ The Moths and Other Stories, was published in 1995, also by Arte Publico Press.

The intro song for The Chills at Will Podcast is “Wind Down” (Instrumental Version), and the other cool song played on this episode was “Hoops” (Instrumental Version”) by Matt Weidauer, used through Arches Audio. Matt’s artist page can be found here.
