Going to the Horizon
Poetry collection from Marcolino Candeias
REVIEWS
«In Going to the Horizon, Marcolino Candeias gives voice to the soul of the Azores and to humanity’s universal longings. With poems rooted in the Azorean basalt and sea mist, this extraordinary collection explores love, exile, injustice, memory, and the stubborn hope of those who stay behind or leave searching for something more.
Marcolino Candeias writes with lyrical fire and social urgency. From odes to his beloved Angra do Heroísmo to biting reflections on freedom, poverty, and the politics of voice, his poetry is intimate and insubordinate, tender and insurgent. Whether meditating on vanished friendships or conjuring the scent of distant lands, each verse pulses with the weight of history and the immediacy of emotion.
Going to the Horizon is a testament to poetry’s power to challenge, uplift, and remember. It is essential for lovers of insular literature and postcolonial poetics and those who believe words can still remake the world».
