Sumario:The debate around violence is as big and old as its own history. The perspectives for understanding this phenomenon are multiple and even antagonistic. By presenting studies by Xavier Crettiez, Octavio Ianni and Paulo Sérgio Pinheiro in a complementary way, I will provide a secure basis for better understanding some of the causes and effects of such a morbid force, which is expressed in very different degrees and aspects. In addition, I will show how, in two recent poems (2019), “Self-service Fascism” by Luiza Romão and “Woman from the end of the world” by Tatiana Pequeno, violence manifests itself sustained in hypocritical, cowardly, authoritarian, chauvinistic, and inhumane behaviors. I will conclude, with the poem “Carla” (2002), by Miró da Muribeca, that Brazilian poetry is less and less alienated (dew) and, therefore, more attentive to the blemishes (stains) of our society.
