Unnecessary waters

Unnecessary waters, the debut book of the poet, teacher and journalist Cesar Garcia Lima, published in 1997, now comes to the e-book in three versions: Portuguese, English and Spanish.

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.
