Shauna Barbosa interrogates encounters and the weight of their space. Grounded in bodily experience and the phenomenology of femininity, this collection provides a sense of Cape Verdean identity. It uniquely captures the essence of \"Sodade,\" as it refers to the Cape Verdean American experience, and also the nostalgia and self-reflection one navigates through relationships lived, lost, and imagined. And its layers of unusual imagery and sound hold the reader in their grip.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eShauna Barbosa\u003c\/b\u003e's poems have appeared or are forthcoming in \u003ci\u003eLenny Letter\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eVirginia Quarterly Review\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Awl, Colorado Review\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e No Tokens Journal\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Atlas Review\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e PANK\u003c\/i\u003e, and others.
