Rui Lage - Firmamento

Placing us face to face with the immensity of the cosmos, Firmamento is Rui Lage's latest book of poetry, where cosmic meditation and birth intersect in the prosody of earthly verse.

Sun, I no longer hide from you.
Now I renew myself, cyclically.
With your light I grow
and decrease. Invisibly I begin,
hidden in the lower palaces.
I spin into the night
with my sisters.
Then I rise. I appear.
I emerge through the dance.
