Journeys and Landscapes in Joo Cabral de Melo Neto

Abstract:This article focuses on the theme of the journey and renditions of landscape in two of Joo Cabral's key works from the 1950s, O co sem plumas (1950) and O rio (1954). The writing of these works coincided with the beginning of Cabral's critical engagement with the grave social reality of his native North-East Brazil. Thus, it will analyse the significance of Cabral's treatment of landscape and of the interconnectivity it seeks out between the human and nonhuman worlds, as his poetry searches for ethical solutions.
