Hello everyone,
We couldn’t let the date pass unnoticed. Poetry is part of every language and culture, and in Portuguese, it has unique characteristics ;)

Although the official date was last Friday, I truly believe poetry deserves to be celebrated every day, in the words we choose, the stories we share, and the experiences we live. In fact, what does poetry mean to you?

And if you’d like to go a bit further, we also have some blog posts about poets who left their mark on Portuguese culture. A great way to find inspiration and get to know the Portuguese language.
- Fernando Pessoa - O Poeta/The Poet (1º Episódio)
- Amália Rodrigues - Queen of Fado/Rainha do Fado (2º Episódio)
- Sophia de Mello Breyner - The Writer/A Escritora (4º Episódio)
Have a look and let yourself be carried away by the words.
Até breve,
