This is a new segment that Filamentos will present starting today and continuing throughout the next 12 months.

Vision Statement

“To create a global platform where poetry becomes a catalyst for understanding, empathy, and action, highlighting the transformative power of words to address and inspire solutions for the pressing issues of our evolving world.”

Mission Statement

“Through ‘Voices of Transformation: Poetry for an Evolving World,’ we aim to amplify diverse poetic voices that confront global challenges, foster cross-cultural dialogue, and encourage audiences to reflect on and engage with the critical issues of our time, from climate change and social justice to migration and resilience. Our mission is to celebrate the role of poetry as both a mirror and a beacon for a better future.”

We begin with a powerful and daring poem from Aníbal C. Pires, a Portuguese poet who lives in the Azores. We will feature mostly Portuguese Poets in translation, but others from various parts of the world in English (whether their original language or translation).
