Nature Talk

"The gestures of this voice can feel soft or pointed or sky-clear, but they are decidedly nonsingular; they hinge and turn and subtract and divide and transmute. It is a sheer pleasure to move through these lines."-Endi Bogue Hartigan. Nature Talk is a selection of poems originally written in Portuguese and published in Brazil between 2011 and 2015. Written when the poet was living in Portand, Oregon, the poems present a reflection on her own culture in contrast with her experience in the U.S.
