Title: Castelos de areia
First published: 1991
Description: Winner of the most prestigious poetry prize in Brazil in 1991, the Bienal Nestle de Literatura, the first book of Davino Ribeiro de Sena, Castelos de Areia ("Sand Castles") has a fluidity that comes from the use of lyrical sentences that alternate with the best joke-poems ("poemas-piada"), both infused with compassionate feelings towards ordinary realities of life and human weaknesses (from review by Claudio Raja Gabaglia Lins in UNIVERSA, Catholic University of Brasilia, 1994).
