This is Glauco Mattoso’s last poetic work before the loss of his sight. This copy is humorously dedicated by Mattoso with a drawing of his index finger. The term “Limeiriques” follows Bráulio Tavares’ suggestion of rendering in Brazilian Portuguese the poetic term “limerick” as “Limeirique”, in order to make reference to José Limeira (1886- 1954), an improvisational poet known for his absurd verses. The word ‘debique’ means mockery, ridicule.
