Menino de Paraíso a Caminho dos Sonhos brings the story of the poet Toni Ferreira

After several years fully dedicated to Araguaian literature, the writer from Parais, Toni Ferreira, is finalizing the correction and layout of yet another literary work, which portrays his difficult childhood walking along a well-beaten cowboy avenue that he designed his dreams.

The poor adolescence gathered sticks, flanking his father, a heroic figure victim of a massive heart attack, dying in 1988. But the obstinate boy continued his saga, on the double benches of the State School Paraíso do Norte de Goiás, today Tocantins, and therefore, entering the state public service, through an appointment.

Then he starts publishing the verses and rhymes that were scribbled on the red dust roads at an early age. And, like every romantic dreamer, he searches for his beloved among the crowd and finds her in the paths of chance. Toni Ferreira makes an overview of her trajectory, faithfully eternalizing the scenarios, the ghostly fears, the idealized aspirations in an almost surreal way.

These are the ingredients that the poet stamps on the pages of the book "Menino de Paraíso a Caminho dos Sonhos", to be released in the second half of the year.
