Sinopse

Almost 50 years after its release, Bagagem, Adélia Prado's debut book, returns with a new cover to celebrate this great writer of Brazilian literature, winner of the Camões and Machado de Assis awards.

Few Brazilian authors had such a celebrated debut as Adélia Prado when she released Bagagem, her first book of poems, in 1976. It is enough to remember that the collection was effusively welcomed by Carlos Drummond de Andrade, who wrote about the poems of his fellow Minas Gerais native even before their publication in book form, beginning a relationship of mutual admiration.

Bagagem contains texts charged with emotions that, for Adélia, are inseparable from creation, though they often arise from suffering. Anchored in the author's experience, the book offers countless references, ranging from Guimarães Rosa to the Bible ("Everything is Bibles. Everything is Grande Sertão"), from theater to philosophy ("Life is much greater than death"). Religiosity also permeates many of the poems, reflecting the reality of life in rural Brazil. On several occasions, Adélia exposes the clash between the sacred and the profane, observed in small things in nature or even in the reading of a religious text.

The unique style of the poems not only reflects the slow maturation of a work conceived over four decades (Adélia was 40 when she published her debut book); it reveals a poet who is self-critical, patiently cultivated, and willing to take risks. This late debut reveals a rare balance: freshness and maturity, boldness and respect, uninhibitedness and humility.

Now, in time to celebrate the Camões and Machado de Assis awards, won by the author in 2024, Bagagem returns to readers with a new cover, designed by award-winning designer Leonardo Iaccarino, on the work Um segundo rio corre neste que todo mundo vê (2021), by visual artist Manoela Monteiro.

“Adélia is lyrical, biblical, existential, she writes poetry as she has for a long time: this is the law, not of men, but of God.” – Carlos Drummond de Andrade

"Adélia is a poet of written language. But writing dictated by the rhythms of the voice, long cultivated in liturgy, in small-town conversation, in family memories, in popular songs, and in the recitation of poems. Her poetic conception converges on the verb." – Augusto Massi
