Writers’ Hands, Dancers’ Feet, Zen Heart
March 14, 2010 by
The hands and feet are the farthest body parts from the heart, but they are as integral to mind as the brain or any other organ. Writing is as full-bodied as dancing tango.
How, then, does Zen practice inform your writing? My years of Zen meditation played a major role in my writing life—long before I wrote TANGO, helping me to untangle knots of confusion.
Buenos Aires to San Francisco
March 14, 2010 by
March 31, 2010. On this day I am saying adios to Buenos Aires—for a while—and returning home to San Francisco. It’s been nearly a four-year Odyssey, completely unplanned. I’m looking forward to hitting Home Shores. As with an hero’s journey, the linear time is irrelevant. It may as well have been a century, a millennium, an epoch, or a hundred-thousand-million kalpas. The “unplanned” part has so much to do with the forging of my new outlooks and insights. Therefore, bear with me, as I’ve become extremely un-task-oriented and very much moved by the moment(um).
I know I am going to be doing more writing workshops, in the San Francisco Bay Area, and In Buenos Aires, and in a little town outside of Buenos Aires—all to be announced as I align my webular thinking with calendars and linear time again. Keep checking here for future dates.

Tango Mendocino – book signing
December 15, 2008 by
I am especially endeared to Mendocino’s tango community because they received me with such warmth and welcomes when I was budding (OK, I’m still budding. . . ). And, the dancers among them who would come to dance in San Francisco were among the most memorable partners. And, I was so grateful to find Frank Howard, the Mendo milonga host, available for a lesson when I was in that phase where I couldn’t breathe right if I didn’t dance tango every 24 hours.** I was up in Fort Bragg visiting my friend, Betty, when I dragged her off so I could get a fix.

Tango Book Signing at the Belrose, San Rafael
October 27, 2008 by
I’ll read from and talk about my new book, Tango, an Argentine Love Story (Seal Press), which will be for sale there. I won’t talk long though, because there will be some serious dancers here, whose feet will be itching.
What better way to pass(celebrate or mourn, we shall see) the post-election “daze.” Let’s hope for a regime change that brings unity, not divisiveness, acceptance, not intolerance, connection, not fear or isolation, and love all around—all the things that tango engenders.
Elliott Bay Book Co., Seattle, Tango book signing
October 27, 2008 by
“Tango is a remarkable addition to contemporary dharma literature. It reads like a thriller, a romance, and above all it shows the redemptive potential of a sincere spiritual practice.”
—Sylvia Boorstein, PhD, author of Happiness Is an Inside Job
“Camille Cusumano has lived out many a mid-life woman’s fantasy: packing her bags, slit skirts, and tango shoes and spending a year in Argentina. The result is a memoir that is like the dance itself: smooth, absorbing, and erotically charged.”
—Laura Fraser, author of An Italian Affair
“The transformative power of the tango embrace beautifully captured. Bravo!”
—Marina Palmer, author of Kiss & Tango
