V/A - Das coisas que não têm nome

Between March and June 2025, Francisca Camelo led the first edition of the writing workshop “Poetry is not a luxury”. On Cassandra's birthday in May, the participants gave a public reading of some of her poems, written as part of this project. It was on that day that the idea for a publication was born: a collection of poems gathered in a book. Thus, “Of Things That Have No Name” was launched at Cassandra's Bookstore on September 13th.

“Of things that have no name” features texts by Ana Figueiredo, Ana Vasquez, Andreia Alves, Bárbara do Carmo Silva, Cláudia Alfaiate, Filipa Lopes, Francisca Weiner, Francisco Cê, Joana Ascensão, Joana Coelho, Joana Ferraz, Joana Francisco, Joana Guilherme Pinto, Joana Lobo, José Cortês Mesquita, Lokas Cruz, Manuel Silva, Margarida Barreiros Feijó, Margarida Carvalho, Maria João Monteiro, Maria Nunes Pinto, Maria Sottomayor and Raquel Felizes, a preface by Francisca Camelo, graphic design by Marta Ramos and proofreading by Mariana Dixe.
