emotional inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

4.5

Loved this book of poetry, specially the fact that it was a bilingual edition so I could practice my Portuguese. Beautiful and intense poems about nature, love and longing. Will be re-reading this, once is not enough. Best poem is "Love is Urgent", but there's many more.

I really wish my Portuguese was better, but Andrade's poetry is still beautiful in English. Once again, I realized that poetry is even more beautiful when read aloud. It's just not the same otherwise.
