Remembering Natália’s Birthday

The city of Praia da Vitória has many different plaques throughout the city to honor Azorean poets. It is called Passeio dos Poetas-Walk of Poets. Here is the plaque honoring Natália Correia with one of her verses, along with the translation.

I am from the Azores
in terms of what
I have in the way of
basalt and flowers
