About the Book

Segredos e Encantos das Vilas Portuguesas examines Portugal's overlooked settlements with the attentiveness of a cartographer and the sensibility of a flaneur. Martim Castro de Noronha has produced a collection that resists easy categorization, part meditation, part inventory, part love letter to places that exist at the margins of contemporary consciousness. The book proceeds village by village, each poem anchored to a specific location yet concerned with larger questions of persistence and decay. In Óbidos, stone pathways become metaphors for memory's architecture. Above Monsaraz, expansive skies serve as backdrops for considerations of scale and solitude. Castro de Noronha's approach is methodical without being clinical, allowing each settlement to reveal its particular character through accumulated detail rather than broad declaration. What distinguishes this work is its refusal to sentimentalize. The author acknowledges ruin alongside beauty, silence alongside song. His prose-spare, precise, occasionally startling-captures the texture of lived experience in places where history has settled into the landscape like sediment. This is Portugal seen from the inside out, rendered by someone who understands that the most profound truths often reside in the spaces between what is said and what remains unspoken.

About the Author :
Martim Castro de Noronha, born in Portugal, composes poetry with the precision of a printmaker, each word placed with intention, each line shaped by the rhythm of his northern roots. His writing strips language to its essence, revealing emotion through structure and restraint. Drawing from local tradition without becoming bound to it, Noronha distills Portuguese sensibility into verse that is both immediate and enduring. His work transcends the ornamental, offering a clear, unvarnished view of the human condition. Álvaro Oliveira is a Portuguese illustrator known for his distinctive artistic vision and creative flair. Born in Portugal, he discovered his passion for art early and has continuously honed his craft. As a self-taught artist, he draws inspiration from his surroundings and the people he encounters daily. His illustrations are marked by intricate details, vivid colors, and imaginative characters, bringing stories to life that captivate readers of all ages. In addition to illustration, Álvaro is skilled in graphic design and creating visual identities for a diverse range of clients. Despite his success, he remains dedicated to his craft and constantly pushes himself to explore new techniques and styles, drawing inspiration from sources such as music, nature, and pop culture. His bold and imaginative artwork continues to inspire and captivate audiences worldwide.
