Sinopse:

Diniz Borges was born in the mystical islands of the Azores, Portugal. He immigrated to the United States at the age of 10. Borges holds a bachelors degree in social science and a master’s in the humanities from California State University, Dominguez Hills. He has been involved in the Portuguese-American communities for the last 25 years as a journalist, radio broadcaster, and a teacher of Portuguese at Tulare Union High School, College of the Sequoias, and California State Universities, in Fresno and Stanislaus. He has been writing for the last 12 years. Borges is a contributing writer for newspapers in the Azores, the United States, and Canada. He has published three books in Portugal: America: O Outro Lado do Sonho; Uma Outra América: Textos do Real e do Utópico; and Alfred Lewis: Escritor de Emoções. He has a couple of other books to be published in Portugal in 2003 and 2004.

His love for poetry, and his connection with the Azorean poets, through readings, analytical essays, and the Literary Symposium, Filaments of the Atlantic Heritage, which he organized for 12 years in central California, led him to work on the translation of the contemporary Azorean poets in this anthology.
