Ode to Tio Calico and Tia Dores

“Life is not just about winning, it is also about losing,” and the doing of both with grace. Edith Baguinho – poet and teacher – has married art to poetry in a voice that is intimate, posed and beguiling. It is a voice that alludes to worlds in collision – the possessed and the dispossessed; in regular and irregular form – surprisingly accomplished for an author publishing for the first time.
