The Collected Body

Richard Domeneck

In The Collected Body , Ricardo Domeneck draws a cartography of desires. To the bodies of the lovers next to whom the poet wakes up in the morning, the pleasure of language and translation, and to another Brazil, a country in revolt that the poet wants to rebuild. His nimble poems connect history and philosophy with everyday life, poetry with pop and the personal with the political, blurring the boundaries between language, world and body.
