Abstract

The work of João Cabral de Melo Neto has been widely appreciated from the indications which point to Recife and to Seville. Observing the book Agrestes (1985), from the references of senegalese culture extracted of the holding that the poet makes Baobab, it is intended to have another understanding of Cabral's poetry. According to the reasoning, the offset of the landscape from the european axis to african one would coincide with a part of the work of the author, with differentiated tone, which extends and destabilizes their scripture reading.
