Sinopse

One of Drummond's most modernist and political books, A rosa do povo returns in a new project, with an afterword by Affonso Romano de Sant'Anna.

Carlos Drummond de Andrade's poetry doesn't require a critical manual to be appreciated. The work itself is self-contained. But when it comes to A rosa do povo (The People's Rose ), the historical context in which the book was written and published helps to give even more meaning to the 55 poems that comprise this masterpiece, published in 1945, when the poet turned 43.

Written under the impact of World War II and the Estado Novo dictatorship in Brazil, the verses carry a strong "politicized" tone, a trait already present in previous books, such as "Sentimento do mundo" (The Feeling of the World) and "José." This is true of the well-known "A flor e a nausea" (The Flower and the Nausea), where beauty (or was it poetry?) springs from the most hostile places, in a time of despair, or in "Nosso tempo" (Our Time)—"a time of borders, a time of cut-off people"—so timely with its powerful imagery that it can even disconcert the reader. Not to mention the ode "Letter to Stalingrad," in which the poet makes his humanism clear in the face of barbarism.

But Drummond was a complete poet. Beyond the hopeless tone of that moment, he wrote metalinguistic texts ("Nova canção do exílio"), poems of unrequited love ("O mito"), and existential reflections ("Morte no plano"). There's also the gem "Caso do vestido," an epic (somewhat Rodriguian) "narrative" about betrayal and dishonor, which Nobel laureate Bob Dylan would certainly have liked to have written.

In the end, what truly prevails is Drummond's greatest poetry, with his unwavering faith in the craft of writing: "Contemplate the words, each one has a thousand secret faces" ("Procura da poesia"). In this book, they truly do.

The new editions of Carlos Drummond de Andrade's work feature texts edited by experts, with unprecedented access to the collection of annotated copies and manuscripts he left behind. In A rosa do povo , readers will find an afterword by writer and poet Affonso Romano de Sant'Anna, a scholar of Drummond's work; selected bibliographies by and about Drummond; and the section titled "At the Time of Release," a chronology of the three years immediately before and after the book's first publication.

Complete bibliographies, a chronology of the poet's life and work, and variations in the process of fixing the texts are available via the QR code located on the back cover of this volume.
