Book, Complete Poetry Cacaso[LS]

Language: Brazilian Portuguese. A collection of all the poems by one of the most notable names of the mimeograph generation, this work is a portrait of an era and a literary testament of the 1970s. “Cacaso has the Brazilian genius of soft, sensual and malicious speech. He is from the Bandeira family, whose language is without artifice”, defines Francisco Alvim. In all his production, which encompasses poems, essays, lyrics, stories and drawings, Cacaso left his trademark: sensitivity combined with a critical eye, simplicity with literary sophistication, subtlety with fine irony. Complete Poetry brings together the six books published by the poet — from A Palavra Cerzida (1967) to Mar de Mineiro (1982) — and a rich selection of unpublished poems collected by publisher Heloisa Jahn from the author's notebooks, in addition to sixty song lyrics. The volume also features texts by Roberto Schwarz, Heloisa Buarque de Hollanda, Francisco Alvim, Vilma Arêas and Mariano Marovatto.
