Ao terror do outro respondemos com pedradas cegas: notas sobre o desconforto na poesia portuguesa contemporânea

Abstract

Based on a historical-literary perspective of some of the most pressing problems of poetic creation, in particular those most directly related to the ethical and civic responsibility of the artist, this study carries out a critical reflection on the contemporary Portuguese poetic discourse. We discuss some specific issues of this speech, analysing the poetic works of authors such as Manuel de Freitas and Jose Miguel Silva, through the emphasis on the enunciative and textual devices that markedly characterize the expression of the current Portuguese poetry.
