O Bispo: Nova «Heresia», em verso

A strikingly dense pamphlet of verse, this work opens with a stark meditation on wounds that cannot be healed, urging the reader to dig deep and lay bare the foulness that persists. Its language jumps between French, Portuguese and a feverish, invented register, creating a restless, almost confrontational rhythm. From the first lines the tone is both sacrilegious and intimate, positioning the poet as a condemned apostle who embraces the very heresy he decries.

The text is framed as a declaration to the bishops of both Portugal and Brazil, a fierce appeal to those who have trampled Jesuit aspirations across the lands of Santa Cruz. Charged with historical backstage, it weaves personal exile, literary rebellion and a fierce love for a vanished poetic community into a single, fever‑driven manifesto. Listeners will be drawn into a world where sacred authority is challenged, lyrical fury collides with scholarly footnotes, and the poet’s raw, lyrical outcry reverberates long after the opening act fades.
