Sombras Dançam Neste Incêndio

Considered the main representative of the beat generation in Brazil, Roberto Piva is one of the most indomitable poets of his time. A pioneering author of LGBTQIA+ texts, a deep researcher of Amerindian and Afro-Brazilian poetry, a surrealist writer capable of realizing poetic images of great originality, Piva is considered a milestone in Brazilian poetry, for his life and work. As he himself states, "I don't believe in an experimental poet without an experimental life".
