It is a great joy and a decisive step in my life as a foreign author living in Berlin to publish one of my books in German for the first time. Eine Sternwarte im Badezimmer was published in October 2023 by Elif Verlag, Germany. Heartfelt thanks to Luisa Donnerberg, the translator of my poems, to the German Translators Fund for supporting their work, to my publisher Dincer Gücyeter, to Benjamin Ossa for the cover image and to Jan Kuhlbrodt for the blurb. The book was published in a bilingual edition. It is dedicated to my parents and grandparents. You can buy the book on the publisher's website: https://elifverlag.de/produkt/eine-sternwarte-im-badezimmer-%c2%b7-tomas-cohen/

My third book of poetry, Tríada mayor (ISBN: 978-3-910561-02-1), was published in Berlin in August 2023 by Siesta Verlag. Two sections of prose poems open and close the book; the middle section is written in verse. The first section of the book is dedicated to my son, the second to the moon and the third to my hometown. This final section ("Bitácora de un sobreviviente") collects what I wrote during the earthquake and tsunami in Chile on February 27, 2010, which I lived in its epicenter. I am deeply grateful to the team of Siesta Verlag for their care with the edition, to the Chilean artist Martín Kaulen for the beautiful cover image and to the Chilean philosopher Pavella Coppola for the blurb.
