Abstract
What stands out in Orides Fontela’s poetry is the absence of subjectivity exploitation and the characterization of a “self” which connects with mankind at large. Driven by this idea, I intend to present my interpretation of some poems in “Transposição”, published in 1969, and discuss the poetic forms used by the poet in which we cannot find the experience of the heat of the events, of the indignation or the political apathy, of watchwords, of emotional spontaneity, but a poetry consolidated by the recurrent use of mediation between core values, symbolic nexus prevalent in the interchange between human nature and symbolic nature dynamics. Birds, flowers, springs, flows, light, time, silence and loneliness establish a connection with the ordinary and the moment of the poem. In this regard, I propose that, by denying of the “self”, her poetry drifts over the circumstances when it evokes reality.
