Satiricial, spiritual and political,
Brazilian poet Antônio Moura
launches a week of readings from his new book with Arc Publications, Silence River.
He will be accompanied by his translator Stefan Tobler
and introduced by Arc's managing editor Tony Ward. An energetic evening!
Antônio Moura is considered to be among the
most resilient of Brazilian poets writing today. He has published two previous
books of original poetry in Brazil as well as a translation into Portuguese of
the Madagascan poet Jean-Joseph Rabearivelo. His poems have also appeared in many
Brazilian journals and newspapers, as well as in a number of contemporary
anthologies in Brazil and abroad. He is currently being translated into
Spanish, Catalan, German and English. Earlier versions of some translations in
this collection have appeared in the UK journals Shearsman and Modern Poetry in
Translation, as well as in Crossing / Travessia, a pamphlet from the São Paulo
small press Arqueria Editorial.
