Book, Refusões: poetry 2017-1982[LS]

Refusões' brings together in a single volume the work of Marcelo Tápia, one of the notable names in current Brazilian poetry. Wandering with elegance and Dionysian eloquence through the trivialities and perplexities of life, its sensations and consequences, and taking on the most diverse forms, from everyday colloquialism to visual and typographic experiments, we have here a lyrical corpus that describes a complete transit along the poetic path of modernity. It is not just a matter of amending or concentrating some of the meanings of the title word, but of pouring again, in this volume, from sonnets to graphic-visual poems, plus unpublished texts, the verb and the verse, always being faithful to the volatility and permanent value of use of the word and the book object, both ephemeral and timeless, topics that, in fact, permeate the author's work. [Luiz Henrique Soares and J. Guinsburg]
