Resounding Geo-Graphies of a Black Man, My Father

Abstract

This poem is the result of reflections and reminiscences about my family life, especially the life stories involving the figure of Edvaldo Pereira da Silva Mendes, my father (in memoriam), a young black man from Maranhão, a gold digger, and the unfolding of these experiences in my youthful experiences, in what I have become in the face of the aftermath of his early departure.
