Into the Azorean Sea
The Azores Islands, a Portuguese archipelago located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, have a rich cultural heritage that includes a vibrant tradition of poetry. Like much of the literature from the region, Azorean poetry is heavily influenced by the islands’ natural beauty, with many poems reflecting the volcanic landscapes, the lush green pastures, and the ever-changing seas surrounding the islands. Azorean poets often draw on the region’s history, folklore, and religious and cultural traditions to create evocative and memorable works.
Many Azorean poets have achieved national and international acclaim, and their work continues to be celebrated by scholars, poets, and readers alike. Overall, the poetry of the Azores Islands is a testament to this remarkable archipelago’s rich literary and cultural heritage. This collection focuses on the Azorean experience within the archipelago and the Azorean Diaspora in North America. The poets in this anthology are multi-generational and from various literary experiences and cultural landscapes. They are all united through the Azorean Spirit, independently of latitude or language.
"Our isolation probably led to our love of literature and the need to "communicate" with others and ourselves. Poetry is very much loved and cultivated here."
