America from North to South: Poems by an American nomad (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798410491846)

America from North to South gathers three major poetic movements -The Promised Day, Eternity Is Your Consciousness, and America from North to South- that constitute an ethical, spiritual, and continental journey. On these pages, Hugo Noël Santander Ferreira builds a poetry of lived experience, where love, memory, migration, and consciousness intertwine as forces shaping human destiny.
This book traces a map of scars and revelations. The word becomes habitable territory when physical, cultural, and affective borders turn life into exposure. The poet travels through cities, languages, and bonds with a voice that sustains pain and hope in a single gesture, understanding poetry as testimony, secular prayer, and act of responsibility.
At the heart of the work, a symbolic triptych is articulated: the mother as origin and affective law; the woman as desire, loss, and revelation; America as living, wounded, and fertile land. These figures organize a profound reflection on belonging, dignity, and love in times of displacement.
Intertextuality engages with figures such as Hamlet, Don Quixote, Candelario Obeso, and the secular saints of American history, integrated as living presences in a personal and collective mythology. Faith is expressed as embodied experience, justice as daily practice, and memory as a form of resistance.
America from North to South offers poetry rooted in the local and open to the universal. Each poem affirms that consciousness constitutes the true territory of eternity and that love, sustained with fidelity, founds an ethics capable of traversing exile, loss, and time.
This book invites us to recognize shared wounds and to celebrate the redemptive power of the word when written from lived truth.
