The book “Plantou Palavra, Colheu Poetry” by Socorro Acioli is a sensitive and poetic narrative about the life of Francisco, a northeastern boy who, amidst the difficulties of life in the sertão, knows the poetry. This encounter intrigues him: how can words create such beautiful things? How can everyday vocabulary be turned into something so magical? The reader will actually follow the trajectory of a popular poet, since his childhood spent in the confines of the Ceará backlands, between the toil on earth, the awakening to poetry and the creation of a genuinely popular art, that is, one that is not made for the people, but that is born directly from them as the plant of the ground.
