In this revised and expanded version of an essay that originally served as an introduction to Ex Poems of Adélia Prado (Tupelo Press, 2013), renowned poet and translator Ilya Kaminsky examines the embodied religious devotion of one of Brazil's greatest poets, asking what it means to be a mystic in our time. The chapbook also includes an uncollected Prado translation by Ellen Doré Watson.
