That is the atmosphere of an urban poem characterized by short texts.

by herself
Dyslexia is part of my entire life trajectory. I learned to read by memorizing the images of the letters, and in this way I developed all my poetic work. My eldest son Francisco is also dyslexic, making the theme even stronger in everyday life, and currently in my parliamentary work, I fight for the implementation of public policies on dyslexia in the municipality of Recife, having promoted public hearings and with bills pending in the City Council.
