Whether it is the ocean, a storm, or the mountains, each theme is woven carefully with powerful images and metaphors that brilliantly capture the essence of the Portuguese emotional fabric. This collection of poems is a must-read for poetry enthusiasts and anyone curious about saudade. Prepare to be spellbound by the unparalleled depth and raw dynamic range captured by the poet Martim Castro de Noronha’s words in “Viver a Alma Lusa“.
