Seven Faces: Brazilian Poetry Since Modernism

Seven Faces is a comprehensive study of contemporary Brazilian poetry, offering a window into the cultural and social issues that shape this vibrant literary tradition.

With a focus on the major poetic movements of the second half of the 20th century, including concretism, vanguard poetry, politically committed verse, youth poetry, and postmodernism, this book provides a detailed analysis of the aesthetic concerns and cultural influences that have shaped Brazilian poetry.

Through its examination of the ways in which poetry reflects national identity and offers a measure of the status of culture in a consumer society, Seven Faces is an essential resource for students and scholars of Latin American literature, as well as general readers interested in poetry and its influence on culture and society.
