REFLECTIONS CONCERNING TO POETRY: A DIALOG BETWEEN CECÍLIA MEIRELES AND PAULO LEMINSKI

Abstract

This study aims to present a brief reflection about theorical-critic opinions that help in academic interpretation of the literary text, as well as to show the dialogic and intertextual relationships established between the poems “Motivo” by Cecília Meireles and “Razão de Ser” by Paulo Leminski, specially because of the language renovation. The analysis also concerns to the aspects that approximate the poems due to the signifyings into the stylistc resources: the symbolic language, whose elements are insert in the context of the creative process, reinforcing the critical state of the poets in the analysis and evaluation of their capacity of creation; the metaphors that, even causing an effect of unexpected or unlikely attribution, contribute to extend the signification of the poems, and the rhimes that, besides confering rhythm and sonority, reinforce the theme of existentialism concretized into the poems.
