Escritos ao sol
Os melhores poemas de um poeta brasileiro fundamental Escritos ao sol reúne o melhor da produção poética de Adriano Espínola, um dos mais renomados poetas brasileiros vivos, desde a publicação do clássico Táxi (1986) até Praia provisória (2006). Exaltado e profundamente respeitado, Espínola é um poeta ao mesmo tempo rigoroso e acessível, com uma obra urbana e cosmopolita.
Praia provisória
Este novo livro do autor, de quem a TopbookseditouEmtrânsito (1996), Beira-Sol (1997), Fala, favela(1998) eO loteclandestino (2002), além doensaioAs artes deenganar: umestudo das máscaras poéticas e biográficas de Gregório de Mattos (2000), tese de doutorado, traz 70 poemas em cinco temas: Maramar; O sol desnudo; Os hóspedes; Os navegantes velozes, e Armadilha para Orfeu. Para o crítico Ricardo Vieira Lima em O Globo: “Adriano Espínola é um mestre consumado do verso (...). Por não temer o peso literário do passado, Espínola consegue inovar, no tocante ao tema clássico da viagem, presente desde Homero e Virgílio, resgatando a originária condição do poeta de fundador de cidades”.Vencedor do Prêmio de Poesia 2007 da Academia Brasileira de Letras.
Other shores
"Bilingual anthology introduces 13 poets born between 1945-66. Unfortunately, the state of Paraná is over-represented with seven poets, and only four other states are represented at all, thus ignoring much of the richness and variety of Brazilian poetry today"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
Seven Faces
"Study of Brazilian poetry from 1950-90 examines its 'seven faces' (a pun on Drummond's poem of the same name), phases, and trends. Introductory chapter reviews movement's initial phases and sets the stage for what follows: the legacy of the Modernist movement. Chapters 2-6 cover Concrete poetry and other vanguard groups, the lyricism of popular music, and different types of 1970s youth poetry. Also examines social and esthetic tensions in contemporary Brazilian poetry"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
Brazil, Lyric, and the Americas
"This is Perrone at his most brilliant. Erudite but accessible, thorough but playful: Brazil, Lyric, and the Americas is the latest contribution by the most knowledgeable U.S.-based scholar of the Brazilian lyric."--Severino Joao Albuquerque, University of Wisconsin "Perrone retraces the dialogue of the Brazilian lyric with the poetry of the Americas in the generous spirit that the poets' utopia of solidarity will serve as a counterpoint to the harsher side of globalization."--Luiza Moreira, Binghamton University In this highly original volume, Charles Perrone explores how recent Brazilian lyric engages with its counterparts throughout the Western Hemisphere in an increasingly globalized wor...
Blood of the Sun
In poems brilliantly textured and layered, Salgado Maranhao integrates socio-political thought with subjects abstractly metaphysical. Concrete collides with conceptual--butcher shops, sex, and machine guns in conversation with language, absence, and time--resulting in a collection varied as well as unified, an aesthetic at once traditional and postmodern. Writing in forms both fixed and free, Maranhao's language suggests a jazz-like musicality that rings true in Alexis Levitin's masterful translations. For readers who enjoy the complexity of Charles Simic, or the stylistically innovative syntax of Cesar Vallejo, Maranhao's "Blood of the Sun "is a sensually provocative amalgamation of both.
Jorge Amado
Jorge Amado is simultaneously one of Brazil's most prolific and widely read novelists and one of its most controversial. Seeking to offer for his English-speaking audience the same range of critical thinking that surrounds his work in Brazil, this volume provides an introduction and chronology to Amado's life, followed by a comprehensive survey of his major works by some of the world's leading Latin American Studies scholars. As the case of Jorge Amado is central to the emergence of Brazilian literature in the twentieth century, this volume of original essays will place him in clearer critical perspective for English language readers.
