About Yde Schloenbach Blumenschein
- Yde (Adelaide) Schloenbach, later Blumenschein by marriage, (26 May 1882 in São Paulo – 14 March 1963 in São Paulo) was a Brazilian poet and chronicler best known as Colombina.
- She also used the pen name Paula Brasil. She started writing at the age of 13, and her first poems were published in A Tribuna, a newspaper in the city of Santos.
- She wrote for magazines and newspapers such as O Malho, Fon-Fon, Careta and Jornal das Moças. In 1948, she founded the "Casa do Poeta Lampião de Gás", a literary society that initially met in her own home.
- This society published a monthly newspaper, "O Fanal", of which she was the publisher. Her poetry is centered on the theme of love, usually treated in a quite innocent way, though some of her poems have a more erotic vein that caused some scandal at her time.
- Her last book, Rapsódia Rubra - Poemas à Carne ("Red Rapsody - Poems Dedicated to Flesh"), reflects this trend, and its highly erotic poetry was particularly polemical at the time of its publishing.
