O princípio das penas: jornal literário

Abstract

The Principle of Pens, by Ascendino Leite, is a poetic work that stands out in the Paraíba Literária collection. This book, a jewel of Paraíba literature, explores the duality of human existence through the prism of ‘penas’, a metaphor for the challenges and sufferings we face in life. Leite, with his poetic skill, transforms the concept of ‘penas’ into something tangible, almost palpable, allowing the reader to experience a range of emotions. Each poem is a journey that leads us to reflect on our own ‘penas’ and how they shape our character and our worldview. Leite’s language is rich and evocative, creating vivid images that remain with the reader long after the book is closed. His poems are a testament to the human spirit and its ability to find beauty and meaning even in the most difficult circumstances. The Principle of Penas is more than just a collection of poems; It is a mirror that reflects the human condition in all its complexity. It is a work that deserves a prominent place in Paraíba literature and in the Central Library of the Federal University of Paraíba.
