Muitas vozes
Ferreira Gullar wrote this collection of 54 poems over twelve years, publishing it in 1999 after long periods of exile and personal loss. The verses confront grief and aging following the deaths of his wife, Thereza, and his son, Marcos, balancing direct accounts of absence with memories of childhood and quiet daily scenes.

Years of experience brought Gullar immense ease in moving among words, but that does not make the world any more interpretable. With a gaze at once serene and restless belonging to one who senses death approaching, the poet describes things as they truly appear: impenetrable simplicities.
Priscila Jordão on Goodreads I have always loved Gullar. This book only reinforced that feeling.
Marianne on Goodreads From the very beginning, by virtue of everything he has done, Ferreira Gullar has always left us anticipating great poetry. And it has arrived once again quietly, after a deep silence, like a tumult; it has now arrived with "Muitas Vozes". It has been a long time since so many beautiful things came together in a single harvest in Brazilian poetry.
