Review by David Rodrigues, author of 100 Portuguese Moments In a Not So Portuguese World (2021)
Sonja N. Bohm is author of bilingual poems written side-by-side in Portuguese and English and inspired by Portugal. Conceived of in English, and crafted to be read in Portuguese, these poems are the fruit of a journey into learning and loving the Portuguese language. In Poemas do Jardim (Poems from the Garden), the Garden represents an Ideal—a thing not to be fully realized or attained in this life, but no less real or conceivable. The Garden is Portugal. Banco Vazio Poesia (Empty Bench Poetry) is the continuation of a love affair with words: poems written upon Bohm's return to the United States. NEW! Pera e Pedra (Pear and Stone) explores the complexities of a human heart as it navigates the ebb and flow of a sea of emotions; a heart marked by passion and devotion, and tested by separation and longing. Available in paperback and eBook formats at online bookstores. Thanks for visiting!
