Saudades of a Nightingale
$21.57
The Portuguese are known for saudade, a deep state of profound longing for something lost while maintaining hope for the future. And nobody expresses that nostalgic longing more than those who hail from the Azores.As an Azorean-born poet who immigrated to the United States as a child by way of war-torn Angola, Mena Borges-Gillette bears the weight of that longing, not just for herself but for her family as well. In Saudades of a Nightingale, Borges-Gillette uses a rich tapestry of poetic works to wrestle with expressions of identity and culture.Though its Luso-American focus is strong, Saudades of a Nightingale honors the experience of anyone who has ever felt alone in a crowd or struggles with feelings that they don't "belong." This collection of poems speaks to the outsider in us all.
