Adelia prado (52 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Poetry. Translated from the Portuguese by Ellen Dor Watson. Ad lia Prado's most recent collection of poems, once more in Ellen Dor Watson's superbly energetic and natural English, is nothing like any poetry I know in our present moment. Her humor, her dancing solidity, her joy in being alive--I think back to Chaucer, and the poems of Grace Paley. Prado is similarly voluble, playful, down to earth, and cheerful; and she seems to have an uncannily easy-going, even merry relationship with God and all his family. She has given us a perfectly crystalline ex-voto.--Jean Valentine. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Adelia Prado was 'discovered' she was nearly 40 by Brazil's foremost modern poet, Carlos Drummond de Andrade, who was astonished to read her 'phenomenal' poems, launching her literary career with his announcement that St Francis was dictating verses to a housewife in the provincial backwater of Minas Gerais.

I don't know, I don't explain things; I simply do what I do. I only know how to write about concrete, immediate and commonplace things. But these commonplace things show me their metaphysical nature. I can only see the metaphysical, the divine, through the concrete and the human.'.…
