HomeLAND: Romanticism and Brazilian Nationhood

I am translating 19th century Brazilian environmental poetry from Portuguese to English. The translation project is an amalgamation of the works of two Brazilian poets symbolic of the Romantic movement in Brazil: Casimiro de Abreu, “Minha terra” and “Juriti” and Antônio Gonçalves Dias, “Canção do Exílio” and “Deprecação”. The poems are reflective of deep nostalgia or saudade for the homeland and have an environmental focus. The four poems together total to about 10 pages.
