Não tem como não amar, sério... leiam o poema “Mamanô!”, “Grito negro” e “Afinall... a bala do homem mau”, aí tenho certeza de que vão querer ler a obra inteira!
Fica de adendo a recomendação dos poemas “Aforismo” e “Ninguém“, também do Craveirinha, mas de outros livros.

José Craveirinha
José Craveirinha (born 1922) was a journalist in Mozambique, East Africa, who became the foremost lyric poet of his nation. His early poems inspired African pride and protest during the long (and successful) struggle for independence from Portugal.

From her the boy gained his knowledge of African life and lore, while his father introduced him to great Portuguese prose and poetry of the 19th century.
