Mudanca by Kevin Cutrer
Poetry. MUDAN A is first and foremost a book of discovery--of a new muse from Brazil, or 'moose, ' as she pronounces it; of a new language, Portuguese, in which mispronunciations turn shoes into toads and hair into horses, stampeding; of a new rainbow-colored currency, a veritable Noah's ark, what with the fauna that 'house' therein.and to a lesser extent a book of rediscovery--of the poet's mother tongue, the 'patois' that mothers speak to babies; of a transcendental 'yes, ' as expressed in hymns from childhood; and of ecstasy on the playground, and humiliation, which led the poet, in second grade, to swear off dancing. But he changed his stance, the poet did, and MUDAN A (the Portuguese word for 'change, ' which maybe 'contains the word for 'dance') is a witty and poignant and life-affirming 'letting loose.' -David Havird
