Overview
Concerned with giving voice to Cape Verdean life, Fortes writes in Cape Verdean Creole - and not just standard Portuguese - a powerful statement reinforcing the islands' distinctive African nature. However, his poems are often written from the perspective of an exile - and themes of exile and redemptive return recur in his work. This collection introduces English readers to Fortes, and the poet's beautiful and unique use of language.The book, Selected Poems of Corsino Fortes (Pirogue) [Bulk, Wholesale, Quantity] ISBN#9780914671114 in Paperback by Corsino Fortes may be ordered in bulk quantities.
