Cape Verdean Blues by Shauna Barbosa
3.0
challenging emotional reflective slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This debut poetry collection, recommended by Kendrick Lamar, was published 2018 when Shauna Barbosa was 30 years old. As I read I listened to Cesária Évora. Her song “Sodade” encapsulates the longing and nostalgia found in the pages of this slim volume.
