Through the walls of solitude

Oliveira, Álamo

In all his writings, the poet Alamo Oliveira takes the reader on a journey where humanity clothes itself with dignity and justice. Each poem is composed of a lyricism that expresses the totality of the human spirit. In his poetry, a resounding howl penetrates the most hidden labyrinths of our existence. Among the themes the author has explored, emigration and its deep imprints on the Azorean idiosyncrasy have had particular relevance. Alamo Oliveira continues to be a writer of his people and his homeland, therefore, of all people and all lands.
