Capsules of Letters – Portuguese reasons
Cápsulas de Letras – Razões de Portugal
Poetry Expo 2026
Capsules of Letters – Portuguese reasons (Cápsulas de Letras – Razões de Portugal) is a series of short texts probing the soul and the reasons for Portugal’s existence in an age of post-colonial Europeanism.
After micro-publishing and digital publishing comes nano-publishing.
Presented in small clinical test tubes, this is a cheap, fast-to-read publishing format designed for the social-media landscape, where attention spans are weak and money is short: sharp texts for deep, uncomfortable themes, delivered with a brutalist edge.
The project is part of the subtheme Poetic Infrastructures – Reclaiming Space, Building Commons.
