| Sumario: | This paper seeks to think about the poetry of the transsexual poet Anderson “Mustache” Herzer (1962-1982), born as Sandra Mara Herzer, or simply Herzer, as a literary creation that reveals an attempt to decolonize the human body. These poems were taken from Herzer's only book, A fall to the top (from 1982, released by Editora Vozes). Our methodology for this paper was to work with a conceptual review based on a selected bibliography and to analyze the meanings of three selected poems. The results reveal that Herzer's poetry shows a clear interrogation mechanism of the socially and morally dominated and subjugated bodies in an attempt at decolonial thinking, although not clearly explicited. |
