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).
Esse livro é uma viagem, a estrada é tortuosa e com altos e baixos, mas o destino vale a pena. Tem algo nele que me lembra Clarice Lispector, mas acho que a Clarisse dominava melhor esse tipo de narrativa. Ainda assim, gostei muito!
