The present essay assembles poems written by Marília Kosby and paintings from José Darci, which compose the first edition of the book Os Baobás do fim do mundo. Resulting from the partnership between poet and painter, the book investigates poetic possibilities through the ethnographic encounter with terreiras communities in the region of Pelotas, located on the southern region of Rio Grande do Sul state. The poems and images picture guias and pathways of a force called axé, with an ability to root and to spread itself that constitute a shared knowledge, informed by the experience of the African diaspora.
