On Valentine’s Day of 2004, the Azores lost one of its most profound poets. Twenty-one years later, Filamentos (arts and letters in the Azorean Diaspora, and also the name of a symposium he was an instrumental part, held in Tulare, California, from 1990 until 2002) will publish through the day a series of articles on his work, both in English and Portuguese as well as some of his poetry in both languages). We end this tribute with his poetry, just a taste, obviously in English, and a reading of one of his poems in Portuguese by the actor Walter Peres.

These poems are in this anthology published by Bruma Publications…

Emanuel’s poetry is also included in the anthology The Sea Within and The Possible Journey, a collection of poems by Emanuel Félix, both published by Gávea-Brown. The pioneer in publishing Azorean literature in the US.
