The poetry of the book “Linguagem do abandono” is a record that is simultaneously dark and luminous, depressive and expressive, in this almost incongruity that inaugurates a new and strange place to inhabit in the panorama of contemporary poetry.

Excerpt:
“Ama como bebes:
de olhos fechados,
glorifica o vinho antes da taça.”
