Poet from Brazil makes stop in North Country By Stephen Bartlett

Fall festival planned at new land trust.

stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — In Salgado Maranhao’s mind, “madmen laugh in the shadows of the mist.” Rattlesnakes represent the beasts, the people surrounding us in the world the award-winning poet from Brazil shares. And always, “The breath of rhythm’s second chance,” awaits the hands that call it their own. Recently, the poet and visiting Presidential Scholar gave a bilingual reading of his book, “Blood of the Sun,” with Dr. Alexis Levitin of Plattsburgh State. They are traveling to 50 universities over three months to share the work of Maranhao, who is also a songwriter. Maranhao began his life in rural Brazil, a part of the country without a hospital or schools, where the young man would find work picking corn, beans, rice and cotton in a dry region where crops struggled to grow. His white father was descended from a wealthy family whose plantations had once been worked by slaves. Alexis Levitin (left) and Salgado Maranhao at a poetry reading in Plattsburgh.
