Description

Abstract:: Scott Edward Anderson is an American poet and writer who grew up largely disconnected from his Portuguese ancestry. In mid-life, he explored his heritage and discovered a branch of family in the Azores he did not even know he had. The process and result of his exploration is the long poem, Azorean Suite: A poem of the moment, published in both English and Portuguese by Letras Lavadas in the Azores. This poetry book, and his previously published Falling Up: A Memoir of Second Chances, are reviewed by Portuguese-Canadian writer, Esmeralda Cabral, who then also interviews Anderson about his writing, and his efforts to reclaim his Azorean heritage.; Scott Edward Anderson é um poeta e escritor americano que cresceu com pouco conhecimento dos seus antepassados portugueses. Na meia-idade, explorou a sua história familial e descobriu nos Açores um ramo de família que nem sabia que tinha. O processo e o resultado da sua exploração é o longo poema, Suíte Açoriana: Um poema do momento, publicado em inglês e português pela editora Letras Lavadas, nos Açores. Este livro de poesia, e o previamente publicado Falling Up: A Memoir of Second Chances, são comentados pela escritora luso-canadiana Esmeralda Cabral, que também entrevista Anderson sobre a sua escrita e os seus esforços para recuperar a sua herança açoriana.
