“para produzir um quilo de mel uma colmeia tem de recolher o pólen de cinco milhões de flores. Pergunto-me, pensando neste espantoso esforço, quantos livros precisou Baudelaire de ler, e quantas vidas teve de viver para escrever um único verso.”
José Eduardo Agualusa, Nação Crioula

Ana Claudia Antunes
“O poeta canta em verso
mas fica cheio de prosa.
A poetisa cria o Universo
com o perfume de rosa...”
