Book of Poems about Fear is a Literary Highlight by Juliana Vannucchi

Over the years, the Fanzine Brasil website has stood out especially for the originality of the content it offers.

One of the reasons why it has received its current recognition is the support and reception given to independent artists..

In this context, FZNBR not only writes and promotes bands and musicians, but also offers, for example, space and voice for painters and designers, being that, worth mentioning, the site has already held two themed virtual exhibitions.

This time, the site decided to go even further and put into practice a different cultural endeavor, casting, for the first time, a physical material.

Believing that there are countless talented people spread across the country, whose hearts and souls have something to say and offer to the world, the website gave life to the literary project “Purification: fear in verses”, which proposed to bring together a series of women previously chosen to participate in the organization of this literary production.

Participated in the project, the artist Ana Maria Duarte, the pedagogue Everilda Menezes, the writer Márcia Carriel, to professor Maria Sílvia Fernandes Vannucchi, psychoanalyst Natália Amanda and painter Soraya Balera.

Published in September by Editora Viegas, located in São Luís (MA), the book brings together a series of poems whose approach has a common axis: the fear.

The poets invited to participate in the book released their voices and poured out their emotions, ideas and thoughts in words.

In this regard, psychoanalyst Natália Amanda, who participated in the preparation of the literary project, reflected: “In the form of verses, we purify our fears, recognizing and expressing them. Thus, readers will also recognize their own fears, but feeling within oneself the possibility of transmutation.”.

To turn fear into verse, during the book creation process, the authors accessed shattered memories, tasted different sensations, explored an intense wave of feelings and encountered countless emotions.

Then, brought words to the material world, recording them on paper.

The edition also offers a series of original and exclusive paintings that were used as a complementary artistic language: “It’s a way of ennobling the book and allowing the reader to interact with the poetry and the painting simultaneously”, Vannucchi explained..

Currently, the book, published in limited number of editions, It circulates through different cities and states and can be found in bookstores in São José dos Campos (SP), Sorocaba (SP), pity (SP), St. Louis (MA) e Recife (Pernambuco).

As commented by Juliana Vannucchi, Professor of Philosophy and Editor-in-Chief of Fanzine Brasil and creator of the project, regarding the proposal that moved this cultural undertaking: “Our intention was to create a collective project that valued independent poets.

I hope this book is an epiphanic artistic space, sufficiently capable of affecting souls and transforming hearts.”.
