José Luiz Tavares - Ku Ki Vos | Com Que Voz

In Ku Ki Vos | Com Que Voz, José Luiz Tavares asserts his unique voice within Portuguese-language poetry, blending classical and African references in a lyrical, intense and deeply questioning style.

The title — echoing the famous song by King Dinis and Amália Rodrigues’s fado — signals a dialogue across cultures, languages and eras. Writing from Cape Verde to the world, Tavares explores historical wounds, identity and poetic rhythm, masterfully weaving Creole and Portuguese. A demanding yet rewarding collection, rich in beauty and power.
