QUINTAS DE LEITURA

Writer, editor, visual artist, television host and singer, Valter is one of the most prominent and fascinating personalities in contemporary Portuguese culture. This is a unique chance to leaf through and be moved by his new book before everyone else—it collects his poetry and adds many unpublished poems to it. Edible, flagrant, furious and purifying poetry. Poems smelling of freedom; little precious things to fatten the soul. Valter Hugo Mãe, Maria João Costa (presentation), Filipa Leal and Pedro Lamares (readings), and Wolney Fernandes (image) wind the dream. They help the evening “look for words on fire". To end, Márcia and her enchanting voice “restore awe and naivety”.
