Pal�vora

Salgado Maranhão

0/5 ( ratings)

Poetry. Native American Studies. Translated by Alexis Levitin. "Alexis Levitin's translation of the Afro-Brazilian poet Salgado Maranh�o succeeds in negotiating the quirky experimental richness of Maranh�o's Pre-Columbian, Amazonian, and Yoruba influences with his traditional rhymed lyrics and jazz-like syncopations. Levitin skillfully alerts us to the presence of a complex and offbeat poet whose work merits a wide audience."--Colette Inez

"Salgado Maranh�o's PAL�VORA is a fierce, metaphysical testament and testimony to the power of the human spirit and the necessity for the world of the poet and poetry, 'expressing a language of within / printed on a horizon of beyond...'. One of South America's leading poets, Maranh�o's music is masterfully translated here by one of the foremost practitioners of that art in English, Alexis Levitin. Here is essential, brilliant poetry."--Mark Statman
