Journalist Eugênio Bucci rescues his poetry in a new book
Eugênio Bucci, a respected journalist and professor, has released a new poetry book titled 'Os Dois Hemisférios do Meu Colarinho', exploring themes of politics, social justice, and eroticism.
Eugênio Bucci, a prominent journalist and ethics scholar from Brazil, has launched a new poetry book titled 'Os Dois Hemisférios do Meu Colarinho'. Despite being better known for his journalistic work, Bucci has a history of writing poetry, having co-authored a sonnet collection in 1982 and published poems under his own name in various periodicals. This new volume marks a return to his poetic roots, reflecting on significant themes through a dual lens of politics and sensuality.
The book is split into two sections, the first titled 'Politicaô', where Bucci addresses issues of political despair and social justice, reinterpreting his past experiences and observations through verse. The opening poem, 'Justiça', poignantly captures the complex relationship between law and morality, suggesting that the aesthetics of wrongdoing often overshadow its inherent flaws. Bucci's words convey a sense of disappointment in the justice system, closely linking poetry with the discourse on societal values.
In the second section titled 'Libertímido', Bucci delves into themes of eroticism, showcasing his versatility as a poet. This exploration serves not only as an artistic expression but also as a juxtaposition to the previous section, illustrating the multifaceted nature of human experience. By intertwining these themes, Bucci reinforces the notion that poetry can serve as a powerful medium for discussing varied aspects of life, from the socio-political to the deeply personal.
