Broquéis

by João da Cruz e Sousa

Broquéis, a seminal work by Brazilian poet João da Cruz e Sousa, is a collection of poems that showcases his unique style of Symbolism. Published as his debut in 1893, the book is characterized by its musicality, ethereal imagery, and exploration of themes such as love, death, and nature. Sousa's exploration of the interplay between sensuality and spirituality, often with a religious undertone, sets Broquéis apart and firmly establishes his position as a pioneer of Symbolism in Brazilian literature.
