Η Πορτογαλική ψυχή is the Greek edition of Viver a Alma Lusa, a poetry collection by Martim Castro de Noronha, translated by Aristea-Effrosyni Sapera.
Castro de Noronha writes about the things that stay with people long after they happen: a face that’s hard to picture clearly anymore, a place that doesn’t look the way it used to, the strange comfort of getting used to an absence. Saudade sits at the center of the collection, though the poems never name it outright — they just describe what it feels like from the inside.
The Portuguese landscape moves through the pages as more than backdrop. The sea pulls back and returns. Storms pass. Seasons shift. Each one seems to know something about grief and patience that the speaker is still learning.

Η ελαφρότητα του βλέμματος is the Greek edition of A Leveza Do Olhar by Agostinho Adrego Pessanha, translated by Aristea-Effrosyni Sapera.
Pessanha writes quietly. His subjects are love, memory, and the small business of an ordinary day, the kind of material most poets walk past. A room in the afternoon. A gesture someone made without thinking. He gives these moments room to open up, and they turn out to hold more than they first appear to.
The imagery stays clear throughout, and the rhythm works underneath the poems rather than on top of them. Readers who know contemporary Portuguese poetry will find a distinctive voice here. Readers who have never opened a poetry collection will find a door left open for them.

Retalhos Lusitanos reaches Simplified Chinese readers as 《葡风剪影》, in a translation by Mi Zhijuan. Martim Castro de Noronha writes Portugal from the inside: the green valleys of the Minho, the gold of the Alentejo, grandmothers passing on what they know, fishermen blessing their nets, voices carrying down cobbled streets. The poems hold small moments still long enough for a whole country to show through them. Published with support from the European Union’s Creative Europe Programme under Trans-European Journeys, this edition carries that intimacy into another language, offering Portugal not as a destination but as something remembered.
