| Sumario: | One hundred years after the publication of Paulicéia Desvairada (1922), the Preface that Mário de Andrade wrote for the book remains current and interesting. The poems from the book as «words in freedom» capture the simultaneity of urban space, multicentric and pulsating in its dizzying process of expansion, demarcating the restrictions of a new Brazil that was taking place in the lands of São Paulo. The humor and madness of Dadaist traits provoke a reflection on the own poetry making, ridiculing many of the formal values in which our literature was then referred to. As a legacy of expressionism, the work demonstrates the commitment of a writer committed to the new rumors of society, who seeks to inaugurate unprecedented proposals for Brazilian poetry, even if to do so he has to dress in a costume made of multicolored diamonds with a view to bringing together “the variety of metropolitan life in the 20th century”, as Telê Porto Ancona Lopez (1979) noted. |
