Daniela Cascella is a writer and editor. Her books articulate an approach to writing she calls chimeric: monstrous, composite, many-voiced, driven by yearning, shaped across various tensions and points of contact between the literary and the sonic through experiments with form, voice, and ways of reading: Beauty, Burning: The Condition of Music (Erratum Press, 2026), Chimeras: A Deranged Essay, An Imaginary Conversation, A Transcelation (Sublunary Editions, 2022), Nothing As We Need It (Punctum Books / Risking Education, 2022), Singed. Muted Voice-Transmissions, After The Fire (Equus Press, 2017), F.M.R.L. Footnotes, Mirages, Refrains and Leftovers of Writing Sound (Zer0 Books, 2015) and En Abîme: Listening, Reading, Writing. An Archival Fiction (Zer0 Books, 2012).
