About This Book

Uma série de elegias nas quais o eu lírico enfrenta a dor pela perda de uma criança, articulando imagens íntimas de luto — o leito, o túmulo, a mãe em pranto — com paisagens noturnas e símbolos religiosos. A voz poética oscila entre delírio, remorso e busca de consolo, projetando memórias e visões angelicais que mantêm viva a presença ausente. Elementos da natureza, luz e sombra são usados como espelhos do isolamento e da saudade, e o tom combina angústia e tentativa de rito memorial sem resolver a tensão entre revolta e esperança.
