"Certain Movements of the Heart is another book by the poet Ruddy, who lays bare her soul in a cadence of feelings, without mask, hypocrisy and/or camouflage, seeking what is most valuable - authenticity.
Ruddy combines Love and Art "as inseparable brothers and lovers in unusual incest invading her BEING".
She opens her heart and sings: "I threw into the sea / the key to my heart. /Now it's going to be cool./ I left the door open/for anyone who wants to come in." And she goes further, in her cry of criticality and commitment to the true FEELING and LIVING in the poem Amor Louco - "Call the ambulance/ the mayor/ the police/ Call the TV/ the cinema/ the radio./ I want everyone to know that I have a love/ larger than life/ on the fringes of screams and spits/ beyond clandestine whispers/ above howls and rumors/ an incandescent love of infinity."
Ruddy Pinho, also known as “A Maravilhosa”, was a celebrated transgender hairdresser from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. She was known for her work with famous clients, including Susana Vieira and Marilia Pêra. Ruddy Pinho made a significant contribution to the hairdressing industry, including creating the “lioness cut” that marked the career of singer Simone Bittencourt and was widely copied in the 1980s.
In addition to her work as a hairdresser, Ruddy Pinho was also an author and actress. She won a literary award from the National Library and appeared in the film “Navalha na Carne” by Neville de Almeida. She also appeared in the documentary “Divinas Divas” by Leandra Leal. Ruddy Pinho transitioned gender at the age of 40 while spending time in Europe. She was born in Sabinópolis, Minas Gerais, and raised in Belo Horizonte. She passed away at the age of 77.
