Book, Sentimental: poems[LS]

Sentimental, Eucanaã Ferraz's sixth book of poems, is both clear and paradoxical. Of course because, like books like Rua do Mundo and Cinemateca, his previous works, he seeks the clearest light of thought in a poetry that is, above all, the search for understanding things. Paradoxical because, as its title might suggest, it invests in a more emotional look at life. There is this, of course, in the set of poems. But without a drop of sentimentality. It is this balance between feeling and reason that makes the book a literary event in Brazilian poetry. With poems that deal with the memory of affections and relationships destined to compose the fabric of our dreams and memories, Sentimental invests - with the sunny delicacy characteristic of the author - in love, in travel, in literature. Sometimes ironic, always colloquial and with great finesse, Eucanaã creates a list of poems that signal, in their precise elegance, the construction of one of the most original works in our scene.
