Resumo: This article proposes an interpretation of the book Terra sem Mal – um mistério bufante e deleitoso (2015), by Waldo Motta, a contemporary Brazilian poet. In this work, from a religious, homoerotic and eschatological perspective, Waldo redefines the theme of the search for the Yvy marã'ey or Land without Evil – a Guarani belief that announces the existence of an indestructible land –, stating that this promised land can be found in the body itself, on its back. Taking the thought of Georges Bataille as a reference (1987, 2007), Motta's work can be considered as a project whose objective would be the search for mystical ecstasy, achieved through fully lived sexuality.

Nessa obra, sob uma perspectiva religiosa, homoerótica e escatológica, Waldo ressignifica o tema da busca da Yvy marã’ey ou Terra sem Mal – crença guarani que anuncia a existência de uma terra indestrutível –, afirmando que esta terra prometida pode ser encontrada no próprio corpo, em sua parte traseira. A partir do pensamento de Georges Bataille (1987, 2007), a obra de Motta pode ser considerada como um projeto cujo objetivo se traduziria na busca pelo êxtase místico, alcançado por meio da sexualidade vivida em sua plenitude.Universidade de São Paulo.
