About This Book

Uma coletânea de poemas que alterna lirismo devocional e sátira mordaz, usando imagens bíblicas e litúrgicas para examinar a fé, o poder clerical, o sofrimento social, a mortalidade e o choque entre razão e tradição. Os textos variam entre endereços ternos aos fiéis simples e retratos irônicos de ritos e instituições religiosas, contrapondo memória pessoal e crítica pública. A linguagem oscila entre candura reverente e invectiva cáustica, recorrendo a parábolas, cadências hímnicas e apóstrofes diretas para expor hipocrisia, pobreza e anseios humanos, enquanto reflete sobre morte, crença e injustiça social.
