Vivaldo Andrade dos Santos. O Trem do Corpo: Estudo da Poesia de Carlos Drummond de Andrade. São Paulo, Brasil, July: Nankin Editorial, 2006.
O Trem do Corpo is a study of Carlos Drummond de Andrade’s [1902-1987, one of Brazil’s most revered twentieth century poets] poetry. Among the themes discussed here are the grotesque body; the desire of physical intoxication as a result of disenchantment with the world; the private and the public as noted in the ethics and mystical discourse of the body, present in social and committed poetry; the impact of modernization on the body and on its perception as well the existentialist vision of the body; and eroticism and death, present in Drummond’s posthumous book, O Amor Natural.
