About the author
Ferreira Gullar
102 books64 followersFerreira Gullar is the pen name for José Ribamar Ferreira, Brazilian poet, playwright, essayist, art critic, and television writer. In 1959 he formed the "Neo-Concretes" group of poets.
Living in Chile, in 1975, Ferreira Gullar wrote his best known work, "Poema Sujo". He was exiled by the Brazilian dictatorial government that lasted from 1964 to 1985. The poem states that the persecution of the exiles was growing, many were being found dead, and, thinking hypothetically of his death, he decided to write his last poem. He spent months writing this poem with more than two thousand verses, which brings forth his memories of his childhood and adolescence in São Luís, Maranhão and the anguishes of being far from his land.
Ferreira Gullar read the poem at Augusto Boal's house in Buenos Aires, in a meeting organized by Vinicius de Moraes. The reading, recorded on tape, became well known among Brazilian intellectuals, who tried to guarantee Gullar's return to Brazil in 1977, where he continued writing for newspapers and publishing books.
He was considered one of the most influential Brazilians of the XX century by Época magazine.
Gullar keeps a weekly column at Brazilian newspaper Folha de S.Paulo, publishing it every sunday.

O gato é uma maquininha
que a natureza inventou;
tem pêlo, bigode, unhas
e dentro tem um motor.
Mas um motor diferente
desses que tem nos bonecos
porque o motor do gato
não é um motor elétrico.
É um motor afetivo
que bate em seu coração
por isso ele faz ron-ron
para mostrar gratidão.
