Each day, a page. Each page, a moon. Each moon, Álamo.

We thank poet RoseAngelina Baptista for this creative work, featuring two poems from Through the Walls of Solitude by Álamo Oliveira, translated from the Portuguese by Diniz Borges and published by Letras Lavadas Edições/Bruma Publications, which was nominated for the California Translation Award in Poetry at the 43rd Northern California Book Awards in 2024.
