| book description |

Written in 1975 in Buenos Aires when Ferreira Gullar was in political exile from the Brazilian dictatorship, Dirty Poem is an epic poem that amid life events traces the authorâ€™s political and artistic evolution and is by most accounts the most important long poem of contemporary Brazilian literature. Scholar and critic Otto Maria Carpeaux wrote: â€œDirty Poem deserves to be called â€˜National Poemâ€™ because it embodies all of the experiences, victories, defeats, and hopes in the life of the Brazilian citizen.â€ It is a hypnotic work that draws on the poetâ€™s memory of adolescence in the seaside city of Sao LuÃs do Maranhao during World War II and deals openly with the â€œdirtyâ€ shamefulness of a socio-economic system that abuses its citizens with poverty, sexism, greed, and fear.
