2019's Deaf Republic is a genre-defying work; the poems about the residents of the city of Vasenka and their silent resistance to repression weave a modern, theatrical and dystopian epic. Through this work, poems by the author Ilya Kaminsky are translated into Portuguese for the first time. To represent the thorough character of the narrative, but also bring excerpts that sustain on their one, the opening and closing poems were chosen, as well as poems about Vasenka's main characters. In addition, themes of horror, stupor, and guilt in the face of brutality, as well as the strange and continuous beauty of human relations were selected, a difficult balance achieved with mastery in Kaminsky's work.
