Antologia poetica

"Oliveira has mastered all the techniques and imprints them with her own touch. In the introduction, Cabral notes her interesting decasyllables, breaking away from traditional forms. Of Oliveira's 17 works, he has chosen 10: poems from Cerco da primavera (1957); A suave pantera (1962); Sangue na veia (1967; see HLAS 36:7110); Invocação de Orfeu (1979; see HLAS 46:6253); A incerteza das coisas (1984); Retrato (1986); Vertigem (1986); O banquete (1988); O deserto jardim (1990; see HLAS 54:4895); and six poems never before published"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
