"Born in Itabira, Minas Gerais, Carlos Drummond de Andrade was one of the most influential poets in Brazil in the 20th century. One of Drummond’s best-known poems is his hymn to an ordinary man, “José”.The line, “José, what now?” became a popular expression in Brazil. Used many times when we face an impasse or a situation where solution isn’t obvious (or even impossible). One of the many Drummond’s lines that goes from generation to generation."
