Early work: while there is much emphasis on dreams, (perhaps easy?) surrealist imagery, and (overly?) romantic metapoetic anxieties about the act of writing poetry, beginning with The Dog Without Feathers (1950) the work is extraordinary--circular, repetition accrues with violence, much obsessed with death. In the late work, cane sugar takes on special figurative meaning, and Ponge feels like an influence in the work from the 1960s. Zenith's (as usual) brilliant translation offers a beautiful postmodern chilliness to the work that feels unusual for Portuguese-language poetry of the same period--a discursive quality that contrasts with the earthiness of the poet and reminds me of the translation choices of Eshleman with Cesaire or Joris with Celan. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Imagine making poems the way an architect designs buildings or an engineer builds bridges. Such was the ambition of JoOo Cabral de Melo Neto. Though a great admirer of the thing-rich poetries of Francis Ponge and of Marianne Moore, what interested him even more, as he remarked in his acceptance speech for the 1992 Neustadt International Prize for Literature, was "the exploration of the materiality of words," the "rigorous construction of (. . .) lucid objects of language." His poetry, hard as stone and light as air, is like no other. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
