Greetings
I cannot remember if I posted this or not, but do not think I did. Please forgive me if it is otherwise. My recent interview with the poet Sam Pereira has been picked up by Comunidades RTP (Azorean web page). Sam is a wonderful poet and he tells a great tale. All I had to do was get out of the way. I hope you like it.
Here's an excerpt to give you a taste:
As a child, the poet shares that his grandmother was a key figure in his development as a person and as a poet: "Each afternoon we would come over and share in a number of things: a nice Coca-Cola, back when it truly was 'the real thing,' some Portuguese cookies that we referred to as "bulls," because you could break a tooth eating them, and watching American Bandstand with Dick Clark. My grandmother couldn't understand a word of what was being said in the music or the conversation of that show, but she would stand in front of the television set, bent over in her dark widow's clothing, and simply laugh, her rosary in hand."
