Haunted Houses in the Amazon

Brimhall’s reading will include poetry from her most recent book, Saudade, inspired by stories from her Brazilian-born mother. Saudade (a feeling of longing, melancholy, or nostalgia) is set in the Brazilian Amazon and is described as being one part ghost story and one part revival. Brimhall calls it “autobiomythography.”
