Olhos vendados

Abstract

Olhos Blindados by Geraldo Alverga is a poetic work that is part of the Paraíba Literária collection, a collection that celebrates the rich literary tapestry of Paraíba. The book is a lyrical and emotional exploration of the human experience through the lens of an insightful poet. Alverga, with his fluid writing and rich imagery, blindfolds the reader, allowing them to feel and not just see the world around them. Each poem is a journey, a deep dive into the depths of the human soul. Alverga is not afraid to explore difficult themes, such as love, loss, joy, pain and the relentless search for meaning. He does so with a sensitivity that is at once raw and refined, creating a tapestry of emotions that is at once universal and deeply personal. Alverga’s language is at once simple and complex, reflecting the duality of the human experience. His poems are full of metaphors and symbolism, each line is loaded with meaning, inviting the reader to reflect more deeply. In short, Olhos Blindados is a work of literary art that challenges and enchants, a valuable addition to the Paraíba Literária collection and the canon of Brazilian poetry. It is a book that deserves to be read and reread, offering new insights and discoveries with each reading. Geraldo Alverga proves once again why he is one of the most respected poets in Paraíba.
