Here, in the Tupinambás lands of the mid-north of Brazil: São Luís do Maranhão, in two literary personalities, let us get to grips with: Nauro Machado, already without a "share of anguish and without a share of anything", the builder of well-built sonnets he used to produce refined and alive poetry.

What excites us is the fact that we have one more supernova star that “profuse” lights, like flagship of our literary allegories: José Ribamar Ferreira or simply Ferreira Gullar, writer, poet, art critic, biographer, translator, memorialist and maranhense / brazilian essayist, one of the founders of neoconcretism.

The radical of homage is man, from the Provencal vassal to the Latin being - species - hominatìcus.

For appreciation and respect this page honors writers, bards, lyricists, rhymeers, troubadours, vates, verseers and talents who lend / transfer legacy to other living beings. Here we honor literati of various suits and verves. Here, in Maranhão, nothing is as ubiquitous as being a poet, many deserve more than simple tributes. However, it is what we can do without privileging one or the other, since practicing exemption from what is dilettante is very delicate, we do it by free will. This page is small, but at the right time, many here will be present.

Brazilian writer, poet, art critic, biographer, translator, memorialist and essayist and one of the founders of neoconcretism. Very productive literate that in the rush of the day wrote fast, clear texts and (some) POEMAS SUJOS (dirty poems), and in during many NOITES VELOZES (fast nights).

Plural author who bequeathed us a vast sheet of service that we would not be able to TRADUZIR-SE (self translate) on this small page of the site.

December 4, 2016, José Ribamar Ferreira, "The Ferreira Gullar" left us. At first, the fact was worthy of quick stories on TV and an immediate impact within the Brazilian intelligentsia. On the other hand, I got to listen. - Who was he? - It was a Maranhense. - Was it good as "Canhoteiro *"? I said: It was better. He was the star of the pen, the citizen understood well in feint, dribbling. Apart from this picturesque conversation, the population, however, hardly reacted, the country was focused on the air tragedy with the Chapecoense delegation football.

*José Ribamar de Oliveira, expert Maranhão player, from 1955. He wrote poetry with the ball.
