Adélia Prado: um olhar sobre o sagrado no cotidiano

Abstract

The purpose of this dissertation is to present the quotidian, outlined in the literary work of the Brazilian poet, Adélia Prado. It also aims to show how her poetry becomes a place, a space in which the sacred is manifested. The driving force of this research is the observation of how poetry is capable of transmitting the sensitivity of those who are capable not only of finding their own will to live but also of perceiving the will to live in things, in people and in everyday events . The object of study is the book Poesia Reunida, by Adélia Prado, published in 2015, in celebration of the author's 80 years. The focus will be on the selection of some poems that, more directly, reveal the daily life. The methodology will be based on the philosopher and scientist Mircea Eliade. Adélia writes in a singular way that is inseparable not only from the daily life, but also from the sacred. In her poetry, all dimensions of human existence are permeated by her. In this way, everyday happenings, the simplest and most ordinary, are enchanted by the touch of poetry.
