Biography
Carlos Drummond de Andrade (Itabira, October 31, 1902 – Rio de Janeiro, August 17, 1987) was a Brazilian poet, pharmacist, short story writer, and columnist, considered by many to be the most influential Brazilian poet of the 20th century.
Drummond was one of the leading poets of the second generation of Brazilian modernism, although his work is not restricted to the forms and themes of specific movements.
The themes of his work are vast, ranging from existential questions, such as the meaning of life and death, to everyday, family, and political issues, such as socialism, always engaging with traditional and contemporary currents of his time. The formal and stylistic characteristics of his work are also vast, sometimes highlighting the Minas Gerais dialect. (Wikipedia)
