João Cabral de Melo Neto じょあん かぶらう で めろ ねと Winner

Cabral is known for a poetry of construction and ethical precision rather than emotional outpouring. By drawing on city life, labor, and social reality, he helped define a major strand of modern Brazilian poetry.

A poetry of rigor that turns social reality into exacting form.
