Gerardo Mello Mourão (8 de enero de 1917 - 9 de marzo de 2007) fue un poeta épico, político, periodista, traductor, ensayista y biógrafo brasileño.[1] Ezra Pound comentó: "En toda mi obra, lo que intenté fue escribir la epopeya de América. Creo que no lo logré. El poeta de O País dos Mourões lo logró". Mourão fue elogiado y reconocido por nombres como Jorge Luis Borges y Carlos Drummond de Andrade.[2]
- ↑ Os Peãs, a poetic trilogy written by the Brazilian poet Gerardo Mello Mourão (1917- 2007) explores the associations between the epic tradition and the central project of the trilogy - the articulation, through poetry, of a collective heroic memory that might stand as a source of exemplarity. The trilogy is composed of the following works: O País dos Mourões (1963), Peripécias de Gerardo (1972) e Rastro de Apolo (1977). Starting with a reflection on the death and survival of the epic genre, our argument goes on to associate Os Peãs with a tendency in modern poetry that uses the classical epic poem as a reference or a "symbolic frame" for modern poetic experiments dealing with the notions of tradition, memory and community. This is followed by a detailed study of each volume." University of Sao Paulo, available at https://www.teses.usp.br/teses/disponiveis/8/8149/tde-10112016-145800/es.php
