Escritos no ônibus

Abstract

Being heavily engaged with reality, Jairo Cézar shows the immense influence stolen from Augusto dos Anjos, with his striking, eschatological and satirical-pessimistic language. At the same time, he mixes Marxist, spiritual and historical materialist elements. His poetry, somewhat satirical, denounces the worst of the system in which we live: Capital, an entity that “changes [...] intelligence into stupidity”. Among these and many other things, Escritos no ônibus ends up becoming an excellent read, a unique book. In this way, it places the reader in the sociological space-time that speaks of inequalities in poverty. It was written on the bus, a common place for countless other miseries and separate inequalities, it does not belong to the realm of ideas, since it has long gone beyond the limits of imagination. There have been those who have said that reality is less believable than art. The imagination used in a work of art, however, will never be at the level of reality, because “the most abstract is the most concrete”.
