Lições de um amigo: cartas de Drummond a Zila Mamede

This text invites the reader to dive in the reading of letters from the poet Carlos Drummond de Andrade to the paraibana and also a poet Zila da Costa Mamede between the years 1953 and 1985. There are nineteen missives, eleven notes and a telegram added to a postcard. In the contact and reading of the 31 texts of correspondences, more than a voyeurism movement with the writing of a personal and private dimension, it was sought, in this study, to understand the links of formation of a writing, with Drummond being, certainly, by the side of other great names, a fundamental and decisive character in this process throughout three decades.
