SOME SAY THAT THE EMOTION OF SAUDADE IS ABOUT THE LOVE THAT REMAINS AFTER SOMEONE OR SOMETHING YOU LOVE DEEPLY HAS GONE

BUT FEELING OR HAVING SAUDADE IS ABOUT SO MUCH MORE

Check out the trailer for the Saudades book.

I'm honored to be among the elite artists in this wondrous anthology.

Book launch in Miami Oct. 4 at Books and Books.

Saudades -- a global collaboration -- features the work of 28 multimedia artists representing 12 countries.

Through poetry, short stories, song lyrics, art, and fine art photography, they join lead author/artist Amy Serrano to undertake the exploration of the beautiful complexity of this word that may be for an ardent desire, a deep seated longing, a bittersweet nostalgia, a haunting melancholy, a mysterious incompleteness, a desperate yearning, a poignant sadness, an elusive wish, an irreplaceable loss, a pervasive sense of missingness, and other nuances unraveled in the book.

Though the word saudade is untranslatable into English, the experience of this emotion is universal.
