Sinopse

José & Novos poemas is a volume that compiles two collections of emblematic poems by the great Carlos Drummond de Andrade, originally published in 1942 and 1948. These works, which were gathered in the same book for the first time in 1967, under the title José & outros: poesia , now return with a new graphic design and an unpublished afterword by the poet Laura Liuzzi.

With "José," a poem published in the collection Poesias in 1942 and which lends its title to one of the books in this volume, Carlos Drummond de Andrade demolished the barrier between high and low culture. The opening line—"And now, José?"—of a blunt and challenging poem, gained diverse interpretations and connotations, going viral through quotations ranging from literature to advertising. A landmark of Brazilian modernism, it also became part of popular culture.

With only twelve poems, the book "José " nevertheless has many other inspiring moments, such as the sad images of urban life in the poem "Edifício Esplendor," a place with "complicated gas installations / useful for suicide." Leaving Minas Gerais in the mid-1930s, the young poet is haunted by loneliness, whether in memories of the rural environment of his childhood in Itabira ("O boi" and "Viagem na família"), or the hustle and bustle of Rio de Janeiro at the time ("A Bruxas").

" New Poems ," published in 1948, caps a decade of spectacular production, in which Drummond bequeathed to Brazilian literature the fundamental works " Sentimento do Mundo" (1940) and "A Rosa do Povo" (1945). In his final book of the 1940s, the poet balances the tragic meaning of life and hope. In the melancholic "Desaparecimento de Luísa Porto," the pall of uncertainty covering the world after a long period of war is transferred to the private drama of a mother awaiting her lost daughter. "Notícias de Espanha" and "A Federico García Lorca" return to the engaged Drummond. But the sweetness of "Canção amiga," a poem set to music by Milton Nascimento three decades later, reveals the poet's most generous and hopeful side.

With Novos poemas , Carlos Drummond de Andrade concludes an essential chapter in our poetic history, and paves the way for an equally brilliant future, in which he returns to forms without abandoning the lyricism of his best poetry.

“It is not difficult to notice something in Drummond’s work that, despite being remarkably inscribed in its time, surpasses the marks that would make it age, as if the thick river of the years carried away what perishes and left what stubbornly refuses to disappear: like stones, but also sand, which rearrange themselves at every moment.” – Laura Liuzzi, for the afterword of José & Novos poemas .
