Description: "Collection of poems written from 1979-94, with a critical introduction by Antônio Paulo Graça. As did many of the writers who described specific experiences of women's lives (such as Adélia Prado, Susana Vargas, and Ana Cristina César), Cabral brings not only sensibility but also new ways to express lyrically these experiences. In the poem 'Ponto de Cruz,' a domestic, modern-day Brazilian Penelope, embroidering 'ponto em cruz,' shops for love and returns home, unlike Ulysses who was cast upon different shores by winds and singing sirens"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
