A bilingual poetry book in English and Portuguese that is also a portal that divides two worlds: the U.S. and Brazil , leaving brain and heart halved: half English, half Portuguese, half love, half life. But it's also an opportunity to live life fully, in double. Expectations of what was thought of as bad-planned adventures are kept safe. Dreams, love stories gone wrong, and pondering about life and death fill up words that try to flip the narrative creating a third language that tries to accommodate this new place. Inside its pages, you'll find a decade of an immigrant broken down into six chapters that talk about life, love, loss, and morals . Each chapter alternates between poems written in Portuguese translated to English, and poems written in English translated to Portuguese. They take readers through a journey where the author survives a "voluntary exile" leaving the doors of new possibilities open. And hope is always good news, right? At 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 of putting together cultural pieces of the collective consciousness of Latin-Americans , and the well-known North-American individuality, adjusting the volumes of two languages just so the button in the middle is no longer the silence of interrupted noises.
