The book “Violinos ocultos sob a relva”, by Madalena Férin, edited by the Azorean Institute of Culture (IAC), will have a public presentation today, at 6:30 pm, in the Noble Hall of the City Hall of Vila Franca do Campo, the poet’s homeland.
Fifth volume of the IAC Poetry collection, “Violins hidden under the grass” collects the poetic work of Madalena Férin in a single volume, in a work of collection and editing by Ângela de Almeida, who will present the book.
Madalena Férin was born in 1929, in Vila Franca do Campo, and died in 2010, in Lisbon. She moved to Santa Maria as a child, where she lived until 1958. She graduated in Philosophy from the Faculty of Letters of Lisbon and was a Senior Technician at the Institute of Meteorology in that city. She published her first book, “Poemas”, in 1957, and for almost 20 years she remained silent, returning to poetry in 1984, with the book “Meia-noite no mar”, followed by other publications.
