Ciclo vegetal: poemas 1997/2012

Abstract

"Ciclo Vegetal" is a book by author Juca Pontes, released in 2013. It took the writer 15 years to finish it. In this work, he builds a kind of memorialist journey through places he has known and lived in Paraíba, using the river and the sea as guiding threads. The path of the river has always been present in his childhood image, and he describes the experience of seeing the river and observing the sea. The book is characterized by precision, lightness and, in many cases, minimalism. He creates direct and accurate poetry on the most diverse themes, with poems written between 1997 and 2013. In addition, Juca Pontes is nationally recognized for his talent, competence and professionalism as a poet, writer, editor and journalist. His works also include "Lançado o Corpo" (1984) and "Ranhuras do Corpo" (1987). More recently, he released the book "As Flores do Meu Jardim", dedicated to childhood, which contains unpublished poems and some taken from his previous books, including "Ciclo Vegetal".
