Adélia Luzia Prado Freitas, is a Brazilian writer and poet. Started writing at the age of 40 which is relatively late in life for a poet. Although much of her outlook is religious, deeply Catholic, her works are often about the body. Adélia Prado's poems were translated into English by Ellen Watson and published in a book entitled, The Alphabet in the Park. (Wesleyan University Press, 1990).
Primeira vez lendo Adélia Prado e achei interessante. A religiosidade é uma marca de sua obra e muitos poemas exploram esse lugar. Os meus poemas preferidos foram aqueles em que o cotidiano era o personagem principal. Segundo Adélia, "eu só tenho o cotidiano e meu sentimento dele". E é isso, eu amo ler textos de escritores que entendem a importância do cotidiano para a criação literária.
I haven't got words to describe how much I love Adelia! If my poems could reach 80% of what her poetry is, I would be the happiest writer living! Her worst poem is a masterpiece.
