Half Love : Meta(de) Amor: Bilingual Poems (English & Portuguese) / an Immigrant Poetic Journey (2010-2020) and Her Ponderings about Life, Love and Loss

A bilingual poetry book in English and Portuguese that touches on subjects such as love and loss, trauma and healing, femininity and feminism, homesickness, and immigration. Inside its pages, you'll find a decade of an immigrant broken down into six chapters that talk about life, love, and morals. Each chapter alternates between poems written in Portuguese translated to English, and poems written in English translated to Portuguese. The readers are taken through a journey where the author survives a "voluntary exile" leaving the doors of new possibilities open. The book is also the portal that divides two worlds: the U.S. and Brazil, leaving brain and heart halved: half English, half Portuguese, half love, half life. Inside these pages, you'll find expectations of what was thought of as bad-planned adventures, daydreams, love stories gone wrong, pondering about life and loss. In the crossroads of a bilingual life, everything happens in a simultaneous translation of cultures, feelings, and voices as if the words are melting themselves in a pot. The translations made by the author herself are a tentative way of putting together cultural pieces of the collective consciousness of Latin-Americans, and the well-known North-American individuality, adjusting the volumes of the two languages just so the button in the middle is no longer the silence of interrupted noises./ Um livro de poesias bilíngues em Português e Inglês, que toca em assuntos como amor e perdas, trauma e cura, feminilidade e feminismo, saudade de casa e imigração.
