"Arrogância, delicadeza, uma beleza impressionante, uma nuvem de fumaça de cigarro. Se pessoalmente Hilda guardava todas essas características, tão diversas e tão complementares, não é diferente para quem lê um verso seu pela primeira vez." - Ana Lima Cecilio Este livreto inclui um perfil biográfico de Hilda Hilst por Ana Lima Cecilio, três cartas de Caio Fernando Abreu para a autora de Amavisse e três poemas de amor.

Hilda de Almeida Prado Hilst, more widely known as Hilda Hilst (Jaú, April 21, 1930–Campinas, February 4, 2004) was a Brazilian poet, playwright and novelist, whose fiction and poetry were generally based upon delicate intimacy and often insanity and supernatural events. Particularly her late works belong to the tradition of magic realism. In 1948 she enrolled the Law Course in Faculdade de Direito da Universidade de São Paulo(Largo São Francisco), finishing it in 1952. There she met her best friend, the writer Lygia Fagundes Telles. In 1966, Hilda moved to Casa do Sol (Sunhouse), a country seat next to Campinas, where she hosted a lot of writers and artists for several years. Living there, she dedicated all her time to literary creation. Hilda Hilst wrote for almost fifty years, and granted the most important Brazilian literary prizes.
