Code Blue – New & Selected Poems
Code Blue gathers poems that refuse the mercy of forgetting. Here, memory enters like cold air — sudden, bracing, necessary — carrying salt, labor, prayer, hospital light, and the unsoftened weight of inheritance. Sam Pereira writes with a language both scarred and steadfast, binding image to body and history to breath, trusting the seen world—bread, rosaries, corridors, winter fields — to testify where abstractions fail. Heritage presses rather than consoles; faith is argued with; love and grief stand without spectacle. These poems move like weather across a moral landscape, refusing erasure, refusing distance, leaving in their wake not resolution but responsibility — the quiet warmth of words that remain answerable to the dark water closing behind us.

Sam Pereira received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Fresno State College and his Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Iowa Writers Workshop. He has been published in such magazines as American Poetry Review, Poetry, Antioch Review, Alaska Poetry Quarterly, Five Points, and Nine Mile Art & Literary Magazine.
His books include The Marriage of the Portuguese (L’Epervier Press, 1978), Brittle Water (Penumbra Press/Abattoir Editions, University of Nebraska at Omaha,1987), A Café in Boca (Tebot Bach, 2007), Dusting on Sunday (Tebot Bach, 2012), The Marriage of the Portuguese – Expanded Edition (Tagus Press, University of Massachusetts, 2012), Bad Angels (Nine Mile Press, 2015), and True North and Untrue You (Nine Mile Press, 2020).
He continues to live in the same small town he was born in back in 1949, along with his brilliant wife, the writer and activist Susan Graham, and their remarkable Maltipoo, Marley. Their home rests in the middle of what was once the local livestock yard. There is solace in all of these things.
