The poet from Minas Gerais, Adélia Prado, is the winner of the 2024 Camões Prize for Literature, considered the most important in the Portuguese language. The jury commented that “Adélia is lyrical, biblical and existential”. The award, worth 100 thousand euros, is granted by the governments of Portugal and Brazil. This same week, the writer received the Machado de Assis Prize, granted by the Brazilian Academy of Letters (ABL). Adélia Prado is considered the greatest living poet in Brazil. In her honor, TV Unicamp rescues an unmissable chat, recorded in 1990, between the poet and the writer Rubem Alves, at the time a professor at Unicamp. In the meeting, the two talk about literature, poetic silence, prose, poetic license, emotion, literary production, art and neurosis.
