With the the hundredth anniversary of Camilo Pessanha's death just behind us (1 March 2026), very happy to preview my essay in PMLA, on Camões, Pessanha, and their postcolonial legacies -- proofs just in, and due out soon!
Screenshot of proofs, reading as follows:

ESSAY

Sailing the Franco-Portuguese Seas in Colonial Macau: A Blue Poetics of Citation in Camilo Pessanha’s Clepsydra

ADAM MAHLER is a doctoral candidate in romance languages and literatures at Harvard University, where he is completing a dissertation on premodern environmental writing. He will be a Klarman Fellow in romance studies at Cornell University beginning in fall 2026.

Epic Skies and Lyric Seas in Portuguese Macau

Here flies one whose name was writ in water. In the Portuguese poet Camilo Pessanha’s early-twentieth-century Macau, the work of the great maritime poet Luís de Camões (ca. 1524/25–80) was quite literally in the air. On 4 July 1924, a trio of Portuguese aviators carried out the first-ever nonstop flight from Lisbon to Macau—a feat that Pessanha called, in a celebratory speech delivered the same evening,“o primeiro raid aéreo Lisboa–Macau” (“the first Lisbon–Macau air raid”; Pessanha, Contos 16).1 “Raid,” a term that had been lately imported from English, lent a bellicose rhetorical edge to the colonial-era air show. Coming to the aid of this verbal blitz was Os Lusíadas (The Lusiads), the much celebrated epic poem that Camões had published nearly four centuries earlier, in 1572.

We seem to have forgotten that to make great synthesis and all encompassing work. We need historians to get “dirty” doing the kind of work people did back in the day, combing through baptismal or death records, making local projects.

In an oven pan, put two pounds of of tomatoes or tomatillos or a mix , half a sliced onion, five garlic cloves in husk and if using, fresh jalapeños or serranos or habaneros. Or you can instead use toasted dry árbol. Remove garlic when roasted. Let everything else char, and blend, process or mash.
