Mozambican writer Armindo Mathe will launch your book "Mito Erecto", today, at 5:30 pm, at the Brazil-Mozambique Cultural Center (CCMB). The presentation will be in charge of the writer Juvenal Bucuane, with online broadcasting by CCBM Facebook.
Armindo Mathe, who writes poetry so that people can fly until they reach the horizon of their dreams, in this new book turns to his inner self, scrutinizing his memory, his childhood, his mother, an organized sentimental chaos.
The result is a fluid we call, without having any other name, "LOVE", in free verse and a neoconcrete structure, with the poems suggesting geometric shapes. Divided into two parts, "myth" and "erect," the book, about 70 pages long, sculpts the word as a plough in transit that splits to become a butterfly.
In "Myth" what "is observed is a reflection on one's own experience and we only identify images in an existing vocabulary produced in dialogue with the reader's personal experiences; in "Erecto" there is "evidence of a plunge into longing, whether for childhood memories or for desires to be understood and shared," writes Rita da Cássia Alcaraz, a Brazilian researcher who introduces the book.
The launch session will be attended by the poet Juvenal Bucuane, who will present the book. Armindo Mathe is a member of the Kuphaluxa Literary Movement. He has been writing since he was a teenager and has published texts in magazines and newspapers.
He published, in 2017, "(Des) Contos do Tempo" (short stories) and "Romaria: três Dimensões do Vento" (poetry), both published under the seal of the extinct TDM Literary Prize 2016, where he was double winner. Mathe has a degree in Management from Eduardo Mondlane University and is an Accountant by profession. The event, which will be face-to-face, will obey all the norms of prevention against covid-19.
