Description
- Abstract:
- This poem explores diasporic identity through the speaker's connection to the Azores, tracing ancestral migration from nine volcanic islands through successive displacements to California's redwood coast, where Portuguese heritage intersects with Pacific landscapes in dreams, memory, and the persistent call of oceanic origins.
- Este poema explora a identidade diaspórica através da ligação do sujeito poético aos Açores, traçando a migração ancestral de nove ilhas vulcânicas através de sucessivos deslocamentos até à costa das sequoias da Califórnia, onde a herança portuguesa se cruza com paisagens do Pacífico em sonhos, memória e o apelo persistente das origens oceânicas.
