This Week Lídia Jorge

“The lyrical slant of Portuguese poetry and the poetic energy of our narratives sets it apart. The experience of ocean travel and our diaspora's size makes for a very distinctive literature. The sea and distance are very present themes.”

"The truth must be united and unfragmented, while the real can be - it has to be because otherwise it would explode - dispersed and irrelevant, slipping, as you know, literally to nowhere." — A Costa dos Murmúrios (The Whisperers Coast)
