Why hasn't Brazil ever made something like this? You'd think that the country of Carnaval would have been able to produce literature that was not depressingly realistic and sterile chronicles written by lonely old men disappointed with their lives.

It's time you hear some truths.

Why do brazilians fail at poetry so bad? After Olavo Bilac, all brazilian poets have been communist hacks making (((modern))) nonsense that pale in comparison to the beauty of Fernando Pessoa alone. They produce poor works and pretend they've done it for the sake of protest, yet it is obvious incompetence on their part.

Brazilians themselves speak a much poorer and brutalized version of creolo which they pathetically deem as Portuguese. I've been there, trust me.

After trying to read brazilian literature, I've become convinced that this colony must have been aborted. How hard is it to spend a century without producing anything of value in terms of poetry?
