Retalhos Lusitanos《葡风剪影》offers a lyrical journey into Portugal’s soul through the masterful poetry of Martim Castro de Noronha. Through vivid imagery and profound emotion, the poems bring to life grandmothers sharing age-old traditions, fishermen blessing their nets before dawn voyages, and voices echoing through ancient cobbled streets. Each verse serves as a window into the Portuguese way of being, revealing the deep connections between people, place, and memory that shape the nation’s identity.

Part of the Trans-European Journeys Project, this edition becomes a cultural bridge between East and West, inviting readers to experience Portugal not merely as a geographical location but as a living tapestry woven from memory, tradition, and poetic vision. Whether describing the Atlantic’s eternal rhythms, the golden light filtering through olive groves, or the quiet dignity of rural life, the poet captures the essence of Portuguese sensibility with striking clarity and emotional depth.
