Announcing Carbonation 008: Nature Talk by Flávia Rocha

The latest release by Carbonation, and the first of the sequential catalog for 2025, is a stunning bilingual collection from the acclaimed Brazilian poet.

Nature Talk is a selection of poems originally written in Portuguese and published in Brazil between 2011 and 2015. Written when the poet was living in Portand, Oregon, the poems present a reflection on her own culture in contrast with her experience in the U.S.

I’m so excited to have released this, which took months of work. You can find more information on Nature Talk on its page in the Carbonation Press catalog. You can order the book on Lulu.

And, importantly, an online launch reading is forthcoming in February!
