Dinis Lapa and Nuno Palma—those two gentlemen of the word—strike lightning into the air, and suddenly a divine, highly selective whim pierces them with the names of Portugal’s most sexão [sexy/big session] poets. A list that would make original sins blush. All of them are, in one way or another, linked to music. Of course. They are nothing but a bunch of prima-donna super-divas. Him or her, naturally. Prima-donas. Primo-donos. Gender is the least of it when talent is the most of it.
Sexões are, therefore, sessions of sung sex with super-diva sexão poets. It is art rolling around in the bed of language. It is the verb working up a sweat. It is the rhyme begging for more. The banquet is served. Now, eat. Delight yourselves. But with class, darlings. With class.
In this thirteenth session of the cycle, António Poppe and Lucky, a dual sentinel of "poemusic," bring us A Cena do Amor [The Love Scene], almost suggesting the title of a future "Super-Diva Poets" festival.
