Book, 50 poems of revolt[LS]

In this brief anthology, the reader will find many reasons to be indignant. Social inequality, racism, machismo, countless forms of oppression and intolerance: these are the themes addressed by 34 Brazilian poets. The poems that make up this selection sometimes reveal a glimmer of hope; other times, immersed in disgust, they take discouragement and apathy to the ultimate consequences. Canonical and brand new, the poets address issues that are hauntingly current and compelling, even when they seem to deal with a distant past. Writes Hilda Hilst: “Let us rethink the task of thinking about the world”.
