The speaker in Cape Verdean Blues is an oracle walking down the
street. 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.
