Abstract

This is a reading about the chronicles from Ana Paula Tavares which were recently published on the site Rede Angola. The writer – a poet of excellence – makes use of metaphors that cross several of her texts, which multifac­eted and meandering paths turn them into trips within the time and words. Metaphors of pain, fears, oppressions, silences, violence, but also of uto­pias, traditions and dreams that need to be critically rethought, especially today, when we are celebrating forty years of independence of Angola.
