Inspired by fado, Marina Carreira’s debut chapbook, I Sing to That Bird Knowing He Won’t Sing Back, conjures up and tangles with the mighty Fate as muse. From ruminations on such historical characters as Lizzie Borden, Sylvia Plath, and Inês de Castro, to its odes to mothers and sardines, rustic villages and gritty cities, I Sing to That Bird… is a poetry collection that blends myth with memory, highlighting and exploring geographical and spiritual space, sexuality and love in its inception stages, the bittersweet ties to immigrant family, culture and history and their relationship to the heart. Written both to the beat and viewpoint of this traditional Portuguese soul-folk music, I Sing to That Bird Knowing He Won’t Sing Back which is as nihilistic as it is hopeful in its adoration and disturbance of life’s abstractions.

Marina Carreira is a Luso-American writer from the Ironbound area of Newark, NJ, a working-class, immigrant section of Brick City. Since reading her first poetry book The Collected Poems of Emily Dickinson at age 12, Marina has looked to poetry as a lens to the world in all its white supremacist, patriarchal, misogynist and classist glory. Marina graduated Montclair State University with a Bachelor of Arts in English, and holds a MFA in Creative Writing from Rutgers University. She is curator and co-host of "Brick City Speaks", a genrefluid monthly reading series and open mic in Newark at the Living Incubator Performance Space in the Gateway Project Spaces. Marina works as a poet in the Dodge Poetry Visiting Poets in Schools program. Aside from poetry, her interests include feminist activism, queer theory, social and economic equality, and visual/fine art. Marina's work is featured in Paterson Literary Review, The Acentos Review, The Writing Disorder, Naugatuck River Review, Writers of the Portuguese Diaspora: An Anthology, The Fem, Rock & Sling, Bluestockings Magazine, THE FEM, Paper Nautilus, Piff Magazine, Cahoodaloodaling, LUNA LUNA Magazine, Pittsburgh Poetry Review, The Harpoon Review, among others. She lives in Union, NJ with her two daughters.
