Alexandra's Body

" [...] It was this art (poetry) that Ventura de Azevedo discovered to translate, writing, the intensity of his most secret and painful feelings, at a time marked by the civil war that plagued Angola for thirty consecutive years. [...] Ventura de Azevedo did not seek or force the rhyme: he feels that he did not - and still good. He poured his soul over the paper, unnaked, wrote with authenticity and spoke to us of love, sex, passion, anger, revolt, intimacy, frustration, supplication, land, people, skin color, pain, life and death. [...] "
