Drawing on provocations posed by concretism, the poet from Itabira opens himself up to a more intense exploration of form and content—especially visual and sonic content—\"without, however, adhering to any prevailing poetic formula,\" as the first edition's note emphasizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe nine parts that make up \u003cem\u003e\"Lição de Coisas\u003c\/em\u003e \"—\"Origem,\" \"Memória,\" \"Ato,\" \"Lavra,\" \"Companhia,\" \"Cidade,\" \"Ser,\" \"Mundo,\" and \"Palavra\"—represent the foundations of Drummond's poetry: the land, family, memories, affections, friendships, admiration, and an awareness of human problems and the dangers of the world. The poems included here are among Drummond's best-known works: \"O padre, a moça,\" adapted for the screen by director Joaquim Pedro de Andrade, and \"Para sempre,\" a beautiful hymn of praise for mothers that circulates on social media whenever people pay tribute to them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThis new edition also includes a dedication from the poet to his wife, Dolores, and another to his daughter, Maria Julieta, and her family; the chronicle “Livros novos” (New Books), which Drummond published in the newspaper \u003cem\u003eCorreio da Manhã\u003c\/em\u003e ; and four poems (“A música barata” (Cheap Music), “Ceramics”, “Discovery” and “Intimation”), which were previously unpublished in the author’s \u003cem\u003epoetic anthology\u003c\/em\u003e , published in 1962, and included in \u003cem\u003eLição de coisas\u003c\/em\u003e (Lessons of Things) from the second edition, released in 1965.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eWith this edition, we invite readers to enjoy poems that, beyond experimentation, encompass themes dear to our beloved poet, such as memory, humor, and the exploration of self and others. Thus, we realize that, beyond any observation about the technique of his texts, what we often encounter is the most simple humanity. His simple, yet always cohesive, poetic expression still amazes us with its tenderness. This lesson, perhaps for this reason, remains and endures. These are poems that, like small jewels, become increasingly valuable \"in the clever current of time.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e “Drummond is first and foremost a \u003cem\u003emaker\u003c\/em\u003e , an 'inventor'” – Haroldo de Campos\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175444758780,"sku":"9786558471219","price":174.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/098c7832830e32acb23b03574ced8afc_2cb7d4e4-b56b-4151-9931-92939392c59b.jpg?v=1783702037","url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/products\/licao-de-coisas","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
