Description
Summary:The aim of this study is to analyze the construction of the Brazilian writer Hilda Hilst’s metaphysical poetry from the physics or the materiality of the poetic language. For it, we pursued the poetic procedures which promote the indissolubility between form and idea. These formal relations – analyzed into the macro and the micro structures – unmasked a personal project in which all the elements are connected through imaginary lines, moving the continuum of thought on a geometric foundation of “on-going” unfi nished forms.
