Bem-vindo(a) ao projeto criativo de Cultura, Artes e Letras, Poemas, Quadras, Haikus, Contos e Escritas da autoria da Poetisa Nonô / Welcome to the creative project of Culture, Arts of Poems, Quatrains, Haikus, Short Stories and Writings by the Poetess Nonô
(Alter ego de / of: M. ª Leonor Costa)
On October 2, we celebrated the 9th anniversary of Nonô''s Poetry Blog and began a new phase which I've called a
"refresh", by which I mean that I'm going to republish poetry in a
new guise.
This poem was published for the first time on October
3, 2014 and is included in volume I of Nonô's third book – Worldly Poetry.
One poem each day…
One poetry a day
You don't know how good it would do you.
An instant of pure magic
Words united to bring us, joy.
This is the ability to combine words with harmony.
Hello, this section
arose from the need to let my followers know about relevant initiatives and
activities in the field of poetry that Nonô attends or takes part in.
2/09/2023 - as I've already told you, Nonô was one of the judges at the Poetry Slam Sintra 2023 and read two of her poems to the
audience.
23/09/2023 -Nonô attended the
"My Illustrated Postcard" workshop at Casa dos Hipopótamos na Luaand
took the opportunity to donate an autographed copy of "Animais
Poéticos" (Poetic Animals) to be included in the collection of this idyllic house of
children's books, located in the gardens of the Municipal Library of Sintra.
Here are some photos I took of the space and with the person in charge of it,
Nazaré.
September 27 - Womens' AM book club
- James Allen "You are what you think" - Nonô read and re-read this
book, took notes and took part in this club.
September 30 - Presentation of the collection "Duelos Poéticos - Paixão a Duas Almas" (Poetic Duels - Passion for Two Souls) - this collection contains two texts by Nonô created together with João Dórdio. One of the texts was initiated by me, the other by him. The launch session will take place this afternoon. The event has since been postponed and I've opted to go to Sintra to write new poetry.
So, a month has passed with many
poetic entries and unfortunately, I've had to turn some down.
This section will return on October
31, 2023, until then you can follow the articles I publish.
Hello, to you who are starting
to read this article. Welcome! To Nonô ‘s Poetries blog.
This article marks first the
Portuguese author's day and is also intended to be a review of Nonô 's latest work.

Portuguese
Author's Day - May 22nd
Since 1982, in Portugal is
marked on May 22, the Day of the Portuguese author!
As a Portuguese language author,
I mark and celebrate this day together with you here on the Poesias da Nonô blog with a photo from March 2015, when I published
my first poem in the VI Poetic Anthology "Between Dream and Sleep " (available
only in portuguese).
Like the previous months I
come here to review the most relevant events in which Nonô participated or attended from April 16 until May 22,
2023.
First - Trip to
Norway
April
17 to 21, 2023 - During these days in April I had the privilege of going to Bergen, Norway. To
get to know the land of the trolls. To see the beautiful "Fjords".
Despite being a work trip, they were very refreshing and inspiring days. During
my rest breaks I managed to find time to get inspired and write poetry, and I
chose one to show you.

Second - The Way of Saint James / Camino to Santiago
April
22-May 1, 2023 - I
barely had time to be home and see my cats. The day after I got back from
Norway, I woke up at 4 am to leave for Porto, in the 6:30 am bus, to start the
Way of Saint James, around 10 am, in the Church of Carvalhidos, in Porto.
It was a very intense 10 days
at all levels. In a few words it is exceedingly difficult to explain everything I
felt, I can only tell you that they were transforming moments.
During this trip I felt
inspired and drafted some poems. I transcribe here one of the poems I wrote:
Nonô and company at Camin de Santiago
I also show here the scan of
my Compostela.
Compostela
And a picture of my pilgrim
credentials with the stamps I collected.

We also had the privilege of
meeting the writer Luís Ferreira, author of the book "282: The last path
will always be the first" and his wife Leonor. We received a book
autographed by the writer.
Finally, already in Santiago
Compostela, at the burning of incense I ended up getting emotional. A lot of
things that weighed me down stayed on the way!
When I got home, my beautiful
cats were waiting for me.

Third - Haircut
May 2,
2023 - Back home and back
to work. I decided to get a haircut. Something changed in me along the way as a
reflection of this my image also needed to change.
May 5 to 6, 2023-
I spent two days immersing myself in the Marketing world and learning how
digital can change my life. This event took place at CCB in Belém.

Fifth - "Poetry in
Two Parts" by Nuno Artur Silva
May 8 and 15, 2023 -
I attended the conference "Poetry in Two Parts" by Nuno Artur Silva at
the room of Âmbito Cultural, floor six of the El Corte Inglês in Lisbon. I
returned to the room where I did the launching session of my first book of
illustrated poetry for children and teenagers “Animais Poéticos” (Poetic Animals).
May 10, 2023 - I received the
certificate of participation in the Intimist Collection of the new authors
Eroticism and Sensuality. The most recent publication that includes two poems
by Nonô. And whose launch
session is expected to take place on June 11th, during the 93rd Lisbon Book
Fair.

Seventh - EDP Lisbon, Women, and Life
May 12, 2023 -
I went to the Seaside Expo at CCB to pick up the participation kit and take the
opportunity to create and write a verse on the IPO mural. The handwriting was
not very legible because being left-handed and writing with ink that doesn't
dry soon is a huge challenge. It was worth for the intention and for this
picture taken by a lady who volunteered to capture this moment.
Nonô wrote a block on the IPO wall
The hardest battles
Are to be won.
Every healing
Make us grow.
May 14, 2023 -
There I went, once again, to participate in the EDP Lisbon, Women and Life
walk. An initiative that I have attended because I
embrace the cancer cause, a disease that I am supervivor of.
May
16, 2023 - On April 11 I
started a new Creative Writing course at Galveias Library, in Lisbon. However,
due to so many outings and activities, I had little time left to develop a
short story and read the texts of the other participants. Much to my regret,
because my priorities turned out to be other, I was forced to give up, thus
maintaining a consistency with myself.
I tell this story because it
is important for me to demonstrate to those who read me that not everything
always goes well, sometimes there are challenges and setbacks.
Anyway, I plan to be present
at the last session and at the group dinner.
(Photo Group Dinner to be posted soon)
Ninth - Poetic Duels - Passion for two souls
These days I also finished the
two poems together with the poet João Dórdio to participate in a poetic anthology
by the publisher In-Finita that will be released soon.

May 19, 2023 -
Attended the first session of the cycle "Fernando Pessoa and the Centenarians"
by Ricardo Belo de Morais, at the Room de Âmbito Cultural, floor six of the El
Corte Inglês, in Lisbon

Midyear 2023
June 1st, 2023 -
We are at the halfway point of the year 2023. I can assure you that for
me this has been a very intense year lived to the fullest.
The next four months, from
June to September, here on the blog and on the networks are going to be different.
For now, I won't advance any more, I just ask you to stay tuned, or attentive.
I say goodbye for today with
an overflowing heart.
