Paulicea Desvairada

by Mário de Andrade

Paulicea Desvairada is a collection of poems by Mário de Andrade, considered a seminal work of Brazilian Modernism. Published in 1922, the book showcases Andrade's innovative use of free verse, breaking away from traditional poetic forms and embracing a conversational, sometimes jarring, style. The poems offer a critique of Sao Paulo's rapidly changing urban landscape and the complexities of Brazilian identity in a period of social and cultural upheaval. Through its irreverent tone, Paulicea Desvairada challenges established literary norms, paving the way for new artistic expressions and a redefinition of Brazilian literary traditions.
