I am convinced that once translated, his literary stature among informed American readers would equal that of Fernando Pessoa. OP- From what I can understand, few Azorean writers actually live in real isolation outside the larger towns or cities. How can you live in isolation in the twenty-first century, in a world of globalized communication and transportation? Our only writer here in S. Our smallest island, Corvo, with a population of a little over people, has now even attracted some Brazilian women who met their men through the internet, then married and moved here, as the music teachers who have arrived from countries such as Russia and Ukraine.
OP — On the other hand, maybe isolation can be good for certain writers. You told me that Flores, the westernmost island, almost an hour by air from the central group, has long been famous in Portugal for its writers and intellectuals despite a current population of only about 4, Why writers at the end of the world? Or maybe it also has something to do with the traditional distance from authority of both Provincetown and Flores?
Or have writers from Flores simply had the need to speak to the world, despite their seclusion, sort of like Emily Dickinson? Pedro da Silveira, poet and essayist, is now perhaps the most quoted Azorean literary figure among us, having put together the first proposal for a canon of Azorean poetry, and for having been one of the first and foremost defenders of the existence of Azorean literature as an autonomous body from the national canon.
With Pedro who lived and died in Lisbon a few years ago America was always present in his poetry, and he actually held American citizenship somehow inherited in other and more tolerant times from his father who had lived in California. Closed sky, hovering heron. Eyeing forever those bountiful Californias. OP — What are you working on now? Can you tell us a little about your upcoming book of essays? O Outro Lado do Espelho. I also am working on the collected essays on the same subject by my deceased professor Nancy T. Baden, of California State University, Fullerton. It is a theorical framework that helped us in the broader contextualization of our own Portuguese-American writings by bringing in other ethnic groups and their literary historicity in the US.
What are your fears about the impact of mass tourism on the culture, or the soul, of the Azores? VF — This is provoking a very lively debate in the Azores at this time. The culture and the soul of the Azores can only be consoled by the calm and intelligent presence of others among us. Is there anything you can identify in the attitudes or worldview of the Azoreans, who are a mix of cultures and races themselves, that might have made Provincetown such a supportive place for people who might not have fit in elsewhere?
As a matter of fact, some of our most significant religious festivals are still a real indication of this. We have never shared the Anglo puritanical attitudes toward sex or any other fundamental human pleasures.

What did you think of the town? Was it what you expected? Could you see the Azorean influence? VF — I loved it! And then Provincetown represented to me America at its best, a place where artists and some writers retreated to create one of the most vital literatures in the world. Not too far way, in Wellfleet, one of my literary heroes lived and worked for many years: I hope women in Provincetown, who may be reading this, forgive me for my intellectual choice here!
OP — You lived in the US for many years.
Maio – Nas Duas Margens
Are there any attitudes in the US toward the Portuguese that still make you angry? What did you think of the recent film Passionada? And why do you suppose the women always have to end up with Anglo men in the movies? He speaks for many of us who underwent the radical change of leaving our native culture in Azorean small towns and confronting the process of readjusting our lives and vision of the world in an America before the advent of multiculturalism and greater sensitivity to the Other.
Never mind about Passionada , and much less about Mystic Pizza. So in the movies our women always fall for Anglo guys. Let their audiences live the fantasy. But then so what if they really do fall in love with others. OP — What was the Portuguese diaspora literary scene like when you first became interested in it?

A few years later, Katherine Vaz and Frank Gaspar appear on the scene, and many other writers and poets who believed they were alone in various parts of the country began realizing they actually they were part of growing literary community. To mention a few of those names: After having dedicated myself to Azorean literature for many years, I realized that through this Luso-American generation I could combine my two significant worlds, Azores and America, in on going act to better understand my own life experience and to some day leave a record for future generations of those who are defining and rescuing our life in America.
How has the Portuguese diaspora literary scene changed? And then academia everywhere is always following the trends that it previously ignored. This is all for the better, of course. Some in Lisbon are now talking about organizing a major conference bringing together most of the Luso-American writers and those who study them. One could say much worst things about them, not bad at all for a young but successful democracy in Southern Europe.
As for the last part of your question, I simply wish Luso-American writers continue to be good writers, no matter what subject or cultural matter they decide to work on. OP — As a critic who has specialized in their literature, what would you say to Azoreans and their descendants involved in the arts in diaspora communities?
How are they doing? VF — Be proud of our history in America, trust your instincts, and, yes, be audacious and forever free. Honor, above all, your cultural and literary heritage in your ancestral land and in America. The Cold War and the Income Tax: Pierre Marcelin e Philippe Thoby Marcelin.

Mas ficamos parados no mesmo lugar. Ficamos cobertos por uma ilha. Durante a viagem, sempre alguma ilha. Depois das 6, missa na floresta. Logo depois em marcha. Ao erguer-se o Sol, em marcha. Gastamos mais de uma hora e meia para passar uma corredeira sobre pedras. Por volta das 10, uma outtra corredeira, perdemos pouco mais de meia hora. Ao erguer-se o Sol, passamos por outra corredeira, gastando bastante tempo. Depois das 6, em marcha. Bastante pedra na margem direita. De dia, em marcha.
