It’s not only the ocean in the Algarve that makes waves. Yellow flowers growing wild in March also delight the eye.

Thank you to editor Manuel Carvalho for including my text on identity and language, “Being Through Words,” in Antologia Literária Satúrnia - Autores Luso-Canadianos. A great book for those who wish to learn more about Portuguese writers in Canada.

It’s not only green and sunny on the island of São Miguel. Like the Azorean soul itself, it also has its beauty in black sand and lava rocks. A view of the ocean from Mosteiros.

Read more of Fátima Policarpo's essay "Her Borders Become Her," which tells the story of a clash between an old woman and a young girl.

I’m starting 2021 with one less friend. Today is his funeral. A few weeks ago we were discussing his plans for 2 new anthologies. Chris wanted to bring together Portuguese American-Canadian writers. His sudden death leaves a void but we can honour him by keeping his dream alive.

Lagos, a town in southern Portugal, was Europe’s first African slave market. For centuries, the town hid its dark past. But this tiny museum is a step in the right direction. More Portuguese cities should follow in the footsteps.

On my mind upon waking up this morning: A memory of São Miguel, Azores.
