Published by Companhia de Bolso, the book Antologia Poética (Poetic Anthology), by cultural carioca icon Vinicius de Moraes is of profound importance to the people of Rio not least because of its strong connection to music; rhythm and song are so ingrained in carioca culture that poets often transform their art into musical compositions and musicians and singers are commonly thought of as poets.

Vinicius de Moraes is an excellent and beloved example of one of these figures - a diplomat, playwright, journalist, poet and composer who played a hugely influential role in cultural development throughout the 20th Century.

This delightful anthology is based on the very first collection of his poetic works compiled by the author himself in 1960.

Antologia Poética is easy to find in most major bookstores, or can be bought on-line via livraria travessa on this link.
