Ashes of light:

Book of poetry by Jerson Lima Silva with 86 poems divided into 3 parts: Ashes, Spring Lights and Glow of Ashes. In the words of Margareth Dalcolmo, "Jerson Lima's poetry reflects his dense and infinite imaginary, sharp and sweet, detached in knowing the verse without rhyme, an unnecessary ornament to a good poem, even when it is not a long epic, which certainly enchanted the author the most." Presently, Jerson Lima Silva serves as a Professor of Biochemistry at Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) and president of the Carlos Chagas Filho Foundation for Research Support in the State of Rio de Janeiro (FAPERJ). In 2016, he unveiled a lesser-known side of him by publishing his first poetry book, Quase Poesia (Quasi Poetry). Now, with the release of Ashes of Light, he offers readers a poetic lens through which to view life and human emotions.
