In “Eu sonho contigo no exílio”, in free translation “I dream of you in exile”, the sixth book of poems by Antonio Floriano, the poet brings together poems from Japan, the country where he lived for a few years as an economic exile. In 2021, in Lisbon, thinking about the private exile that affected thousands of people in the pandemic - and seeing so many Brazilians living far from their country - he had the feeling of being far from his dear people, during his years in Japan. These memories found photographs by Fernando Phillipi, a photographer from Itajaí who lives in San Diego in the United States, where he photographed scenes during the pandemic. Thus, “I dream of you in exile” is a book of poems and photos with points of contact, and dialogues for details from the many possible exiles and how they transform us.
“I dream of you in exile” was published with the sponsorship of the City and Cultural Foundation of Itajaí through the Municipal Law of Incentive of Culture – LIC and Unimed Litoral.
