“Everything that surrounds us becomes part of us.”
–Fernando Pessoa
I've just come across a marvelous writing program for those who would be interested in a session in Lisbon, and then maybe Ponta Delgada, Azores.
http://disquietinternational.org
It is named after a certain Book of Disquiet by Pessoa, who explains that it is "the autobiography of someone who never existed" The program is based on:
"inspiration from The Book of Disquiet, the great Lisbon poet Fernando Pessoa’s masterpiece; from the city of Lisbon itself; and from the late Portuguese poet Alberto de Lacerda, who believed above all in the importance of literary community."
There are different levels of participation and fellowships which encourage Luso and Luso-American writers. It all looks like fun!! Anything that encourages Portuguese writers sounds like it could bring together a larger community in ways that can't happen under everyday circumstance.
