Unnecessary waters
()
About this ebook
The author goes through several themes and alternates the look on childhood, the impossibility of predicting the future and remedying the past, exposing the conflicts of a forged intimate diary, spiritual quest and cosmopolitan solitude.
Short, ironic poems – influenced by Brazilian marginal poetry of the 1970s – were alternated with narrative and other intimate poems, in a movement of approximation and distance from the public and the private.
In presenting the work of Cesar Garcia Lima, the writer and screenwriter José Louzeiro emphasizes that "his poetry is made of experience, understanding and reflection".
Written under the impact of loss, between Amazon and major Brazilian cities, the book evokes absence, but also discoveries.

Poetry may seem an unlikely destination for those emotions, especially to those who don’t read it regularly. But Limón’s poems are unique for the deep attention they pay to both the world’s wounds and its redemptive beauty. In otherwise dark times, they have the power to open us up to the wonder and awe that the world still inspires. Limón’s books of poetry — like her 2018 collection, “The Carrying,” which won the National Book Critics Circle Award, and her 2015 collection, “Bright Dead Things” — are filled with meditations on grief and infertility, as well as striking moments of insight about friendship, lust and our fellowship with animal Podcast episode
