"Equal measures heart and bravado, Barbosa captures a present moment in U.S. poetry." —Booklist
"It was tough to pick a top book in 2018 but I’m going to have to go with Kendrick Lamar on this one and say Shauna Barbosa’s poetry collection, Cape Verdean Blues, topped my list. These poems make bodily experiences feel spiritual while also exploring the concerns of someone whose identity lives between two cultures. I’ve always been a fan of reflecting on those moments or people in life that come and go quickly but leave behind detailed traces of emotion. Barbosa extracts these delicate traces and places them within her words. The collection does what poetry is meant to do, move you." —Melissa Ximena Golebiowski, Lit Hub national assigning editor
