Dora Ferreira da Silva (July 1, 1918 – April 6, 2006) was a Brazilian poet, essayist and translator. According to the literary critic Ivan Junqueira, Silva used a ''voiceless language to express the inexpressible''.[1]
Silva's poetry, which ranges from traditional to modern forms, including concrete verse, explores themes such as myth, the sacred, and time. She rendered into Portuguese works by Rainer Maria Rilke, Friedrich Hölderlin and Carl Gustav Jung. She was awarded the Prêmio Machado de Assis in 1999 and received the Prêmio Jabuti three times.[2][3][4]
Silva was married to the philosopher Vicente Ferreira da Silva.[5]
