Description: "Risério is a critic and vanguardist with influences of Dada and Concrete poetry and this work is his first book of poems. In 'Alguns Toques,' author talks about the genesis of the book. 'Via Papua' is based on other texts such as  Malinowski's 'Argonauts of the Western Pacific.' Author uses old Chinese proverbs and makes a collage of Brazilian rivers. He plays with the sound similarities between Yoruba and Japanese and plays with words like yume-ya, xogum, axogum, Kioto/Ketu, and Mairi (a Tupi village)"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
