- Summary:
- "Concerned with giving voice to Cape Verdean life, Forte writes in Cape Verdean Creole - and not just standard Portuguese - a powerful statement reinforcing the islands'distinctive African nature. However, his poems are often written from the perspective of an exile - and themes of exile and redemptive return recur in his work. This collection introduces English readers to Fortes, and the poet's beautiful and unique use of language"-- Provided by publisher.
