To these illustrious names beloved by lovers of Poetry is necessary to add that of Marica Campo, who bursts in with uncontrollable force in the poetic scene, after many years of rigorous and disciplined learning. This is not an adolescent and impatient poet, with all the passion of the world and naively, gives us her first book. Marica Campo is a grown-up woman who lived with emotion and passion, generosity and intelligence, training herself conscientiously. Her work turns out to be the fruit ripe of the experience in the more profound and transcendental sense of the word-and not of irreflection or the harvest made prematurely whe it is still unripe. In this her first book Tras as portas do rostro there are no flaws to remark. This is a mature voice, deep and very personal, that arises as a mighty torrent, flooding us totally, surprising us, dazzling and touching us, qualities that we demand from genuine poetry.
