Bojear la isla es circundar un espacio en que aún no hemos desembarcado, medirle sus cabos y bahías, inventariar sus cayos y paisajes. Bojear la isla es medir palabras, propagar escritos, pensar insularmente. Bojear la isla implica pensar y escribir sobre la literatura y la realidad de nuestro mundo en sus aislamientos e interconexiones.

Los libros que lleva y trae el viento: Para Além da Tragédia: África e Brasil sob olhar literário, de Denilson Lima Santos (Brasil)
El libro presenta ensayos literarios desde dos perspectivas. Primero un diálogo con la literatura africana, en este caso la de Guinea Bissau, realizando un análisis de la obre de Abdulai Silá, A última Tragédia, realizando un estudio tanto desde la historia como desde la literatura. Luego se presenta al escritor negro de Bahía (Brasil), Aloísio Resende, que en la década del 30 del siglo XX escribía en la prensa local una estética poética basada en el Candomblé.
