Exercício da palavra: poesia

Abstract

Zila Mamede’s O Exercício da Palavra is a standout poetic work in the Paraíba Literária collection. The author, who is also a librarian, brings a unique and refreshing perspective to poetry, combining her passion for words with her professional experience. The work is an exercise in expression and introspection, where Mamede explores language and literature in a deep and personal way. She plays with words, manipulating them to create vivid images and deep emotions. Each poem is a careful study of language, an exercise in giving form and meaning to words. Mamede also brings her experience as a librarian to her poetry. She sees the library not only as a place for books, but as a space for discovery and learning. This is reflected in her poetry, which is both erudite and accessible. O Exercício da Palavra is a valuable addition to the Paraíba Literária collection. It is a work that celebrates Paraíba literature and Zila Mamede's contribution to Brazilian poetry. It is a must-read for any poetry lover and a tribute to the art of speaking.
