Alemany Bay Window / Redwood Coast Record Crate is David Maduli's dual poetry collection rooted in the physical, cultural, and emotional geographies of a shifting San Francisco Bay Area. Side A tracks the textures and reflections of his family home in the Outer Mission District, a space of history and memory for multiple generations since the migration of ancestors from the Philippines. The B-side speaks through this DJ's affinity for vinyl grooves, record sleeves, liner notes and samples to intone the musicality of living in and moving through the world. Segueing within and between both works, Maduli charts displacement and knowing, rhythm and resistance-a testament to what we hold dear and what legacies we carry.
