A war hero is forgotten. A writer is hanged. A German composer passes away. A nation is deconstructed. A gathering of beat poets goes terribly wrong... Twice! A train station becomes sentient and decides to speak its mind. A mythological being forgets his pocket watch at home. Apóstrofe, Apostrophe, a strange collection of seemingly unconnected poems, attempts to establish a dialogue between two distinct languages, English and Portuguese, and to redefine the borders of poesy, in its multiple metamorphoses and linguistic varieties. The insular poetry — insular in form as well as in content — of the book’s first section, “North”, is counterposed by a more condensed, formally competent poesia, albeit less rational and more onanistic, presented in the book’s second section, “Sul”.
