“With her blend of references and her distinctive, utterly original style, Catarina Lins had already established herself as one of the most inventive poets of her generation with the publication of O Teatro do Mundo in 2017. It is no surprise that the book was shortlisted for the Jabuti Prize the following year. More than simply being read, Catarina’s poetry deserves to be heard aloud, for one of the keys to her work—to the unexpected combinations she brews in her cauldron of images—reveals itself in speech as well: in the light of sound, in the rhythm of the living word, creating new meanings with every reading, within each reader’s inner voice. From the anagram of Manam to the exotic landscapes surrounding Japan, from that South American capital of light pork to the rarely touched passages of distant songs or remote geographies, everything finds a place here—from Plath to Pound, from Empedocles to Baden Powell. Everything is renewed and illuminated through the poet’s voice and art.”
