Commemorative edition of the poem published in 1978 which, along with Ferreira Gullars' {Poema Sujo,} became emblematic of the military dictatorship. Includes essays by Trista o de Athayde, "Poesia Planeta ria"; Jose Guilherme Merquior, "A Volta do Poema"; Donald Schueler, "A Grande Era da Poesia Terminou"; and Antonio Hohlfeldt, "Mural da Margina(alienac ʹa o)lidade." Merquior celebrates this volume as a return to the long poem genre and the Indianist theme as Sant'Anna universalizes his thoughts about his identity/identities as the Indian, {mineiro,} and Protestant: "um indio / encontrado na mata / sem passado e escrita / trocando sual alma terna e torta / por qualquer espelho ou faca."
