Cajazeiras: uma aldeia poética

Abstract

In “Cajazeiras: a poetic village”, the author shows his love and impressions about the city that adopted him at the age of six. In the first poem of the book, Irismar transports the reader to the aridity of the region, contrasting it with the kindness and simplicity of the country folk when receiving visitors at home. The work also speaks of the bucolic nature of the rural landscapes of the municipality and also of real characters, to whom he wanted to pay homage, such as João de Manezinho, Jocélio Amaro, Padre Rolim, Lilia das Mangueiras and, most especially, Don’Ana, his mother.
