Africa-Press – Cape verde. The Writer Vera Duarte said on Monday that there has been a “very expressive” presence of the woman’s voice in Cabo Verdean poetry, moving from the inspiring muse to having a more present voice in this field.
The poet also made these statements to Inforpress on the occasion of World Poetry Day which is marked on March 21, annually, to celebrate the diversity of dialogue, the free creation of ideas through words, creativity and innovation.
“Today we notice great differences in relation to what we had in the old days, it is for now this very expressive presence of the woman’s voice in Cabo Verdean poetry. We went from a time when women were the inspiring muses and we now live in a period when the woman’s voice in poetry is increasingly present and more listened to,” she noted.
“And if I can quote, the Brazilian professor Simone Caputo Gomes, a great scholar of Cabo Verdean literature, said in an interview that she thinks that Orlanda Amarílis, Vera Duarte, Dina Salústio are presences that are already in the Cabo Verdean literary field,” she said, explaining that there was once virtually no recognized female voice with visibility, but currently there are recognized voices, with visibilities and awarded prizes.
