Synopsis

“Under the Cajueiro” is the anthology that brings together poets from all regions of Ceará, just as the cashew juice taught them, where each poem reflects the poets’ dreams, lost loves, their audacity and renewed hopes. It is a celebration of the diversity of experiences and perspectives that enrich this existence. This book is a testament to the power of poetry to unite communities, preserve memories, and inspire the future. May each poem be an open window to a world of imagination and reflection.
