Fine. According to Amazon it is due to be released May 2, 2023. It's listed for the Jabuti too, so it may win one of both awards.

Cheering for one of the three Mozambican writers on the list.

 

[Benny Profane]

The list is better than the list of Jabuti's finalists. In my humble opinion, it's more fair.
It encompasses some independent minor Publishing Houses such as Kapulana and Patuá, for example, and some unknown names.

 

[Leseratte]

It seems that Jabutí contemplates only Brazilian oeuvres, while the Oceanos includes all Portuguese speaking countries.

I see here that Vista Chinesa has been translated into English, with the same title Portuguese title.

It seems that Vista Chinesa is a reference to a park in Rio de Janeiro.

 

[Benny Profane]

It seems that Jabutí contemplates only Brazilian oeuvres, while the Oceanos includes all Portuguese speaking countries.

But we have a name by Editora Patuá on that list.

 

[Leseratte]

But we have a name from Editora Patuá on that list.

I know very little about the modern editors but I see what you mean. It´s an independent Brazilian editor, that was included and not a big editing company. They chose the book and not the editor.

I know, my dear, but on the Prêmio Jabuti, for example, the editors always chose books by Companhia das Letras or Editora Record and the same famous names.

I think young and unknown writers who published their books by minor Publishing Houses have no visibility and no incentives for publishing their books when they can see that the same people always win all the literary prizes here in Brazil.

It's my case, for example. My book of poetry collection is almost finished but I have no incentives for publishing it, because I'm not on intelectual groups or clubs (the "panelinhas") and I'm from Northeast (and for those clubs, I need to publish under the rules of Regionalism Movement or under the same stereotypes of people from Northeast, ie backwardness, poverty, Cordel, Magical Realism, poor Portuguese language as a "dialect", etc).

For example, if a famous author publish a whole book in blank and I publish some innovative poems, I (a nobody man) won't have the same chances of winning Jabuti.

I know @Benny Profane. In Brazil one has to be discovered by someone that is famous. One possibility would be to start with a modest editor, but avoiding the stereotyped editions. The other possibility: if you know a famous influencer, ask for a You Tube session where you can read some of your poems to the public. Your poetry has to attract attention.
