Ensaios E Anseios Cripticos
A maior parte dos ensaios deste livro foi publicada em dois volumes pela Criar Edições, em 1986 e 2001. São os que agora compõem as Partes 1 e 2 deste Ensaios e anseios crípticos. O primeiro conjunto reúne textos em que Leminski dizia ter reunido as noções “teóricas” básicas a partir das quais pensava. O segundo, os textos “práticos”, isto é, voltados à análise de obras e de autores. Os textos estão dispostos na ordem que Leminski estabeleceu, focando obras de Brecht, Rimbaud, Haroldo de Campos, Sartre, Guimarães Rosa, Euclides da Cunha, Dante, Whitmann, Fante, Jarry, Ferlinghetti, John Lennon, Mishima, Becket, Joyce e Petrônio. Nesta segunda edição, acrescentamos a esses dois conjuntos oito textos publicados originalmente em Ensaios e anseios crípticos, volume organizado por Alice Ruiz e Aurea Leminski em 1997 para a Polo Editorial do Paraná. Esses oito textos constituem a Parte 3 deste volume

About the author
Paulo Leminski
53 books156 followersPaulo Leminski Filho (Curitiba, August 24, 1944 – Curitiba, June 7, 1989) was a Brazilian poet and writer. He took pride in being of mixed Polish and African descent.
His first small-press collection came out in the late 1970s. Although he never finished college, by the 1980s he knew Japanese, French, and English well enough to do translations. His most noted renderings are of Alfred Jarry, James Joyce, John Fante, John Lennon, Samuel Beckett, and Yukio Mishima. He also helped to produce a number of albums and was said to have taught judo.
Leminski was a prolific poet, wrote experimental prose / essays, occasionally wrote songs, and was a cultural agitator. He was the leading voice of his generation, having followed different paths of Brazilian lyric from the early 1960s through the late 1980s. His style of poetry has been compared to that of American poet e. e. cummings (song writer / singer Luciana Souza on the Tom Schanbel show on KCRW 89.9 fm 06/24/2009). He contributed to the journal Invenção, while still a teen and would maintain a strong sense of visuality and layout in his poetic output. Some of Leminski's poetry of the late 1970s/early 1980s has been linked to the controversial labe of poesia marginal. But his dedication to resolution in language set him apart. His collections Caprichos & Relaxos (1983) and Distraídos venceremos (1987) are landmarks. In the latter, his rigor and intertextual urges are clear. A neo-baroque narrative, Catatau (1975), has become a cult book. His home town Curitiba has sponsored a yearly celebration of his legacy and cultural vibrancy in Brazil. The event's name Perhappiness is taken from a one-liner by the poet.

Os anseios de Paulo, deixados em registro há pelo menos 40 anos, são mais contemporâneos que os lidos no jornal de ontem. O arnarquiteto de desengenharias contrapõe o pensamento corrente há tempos, e não somente com sua poesia.

Argutas reflexões de um grande artista e pensador, como poucos que Curitiba viu.
