PRAISE FOR Interpretaciones/Interpretations/Interpretações by Felipe Fiuza
Felipe Fiuza‘s engaging new book, Interpretaciones/ Interpretations/ Interpretações, achieves the remarkable feat of presenting each poem in 2 languages while establishing a dialogue with a third, creating an immersive experience of sound and vision. I admire the warmth of voice and personality of this work, as well as its formal ambition. The longer poems and sequences seamlessly match form with content and maintain a rewarding internal logic of design. Fiuza displays a bracing sense of humor, one of the more challenging tones to translate, and brings vitality to poems about such contemporary technological experiences as Zoom and identity theft. Fiuza finds a perfect counterbalance to his enlivening wit through a real sensitivity to suffering and personal sacrifice, particularly in “Bluegrass Leaves” and “Your Uncle Renato,” poems that engage the bonds of and loss in ways no reader will soon forget.

O novo, envolvente, livro de Felipe Fiuza, Interpretaciones/Interpretations/Interpretações, alcança o feito notável de apresentar cada poema em 2 línguas enquanto estabelece um diálogo com uma terceira, criando uma imersiva experiência visual e sonora. Eu admiro a voz reconfortante e pessoal deste trabalho, bem como sua ambição formal. Os poemas longos e as sequências impecavelmente combinam forma e conteúdo mantendo uma recompensadora lógica interna de projeto. Fiuza demonstra um senso de humor revigorante, um dos tons mais difíceis de traduzir, trazendo vitalidade a poemas sobre experiências tecnológicas contemporâneas como Zoom e roubo de identidade. Fiuza encontra um equilíbrio perfeito para seu humor abrasivo ao demonstrar sensibilidade real sobre o sofrimento e o sacrifício pessoal, principalmente em poemas como “Folhas de Bluegrass” e “Seu tio Renato,” poemas que se aproximam dos laços familiares e da perda de maneiras que nenhum leitor irá esquecer tão cedo.
