Correlations and divergences in the adult and infant poetry of Ferreira Gullar

Abstract

The objective of this article is to compare Ferreira Gullar (1930-2016) poetry addressed to adult and infant audience. To this end, will be analyzed the productions Many voices (1999), Somewhere nowhere (2010), and A cat named Kitty (2000). The selection justifies itself because there is, in these books, the poetization of the cat, which profile is outlined in the poems addressed to adult and infant audience. The recovery of the feline occurs in movement of complementarity and enrichment of senses from poem to poem, revealing the reflexive aesthetic project of the poet. As critical basis, the assumptions of Bosi (2003), Lafetá (2004) will be considered, among others. --- DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.25094/rtp.2017n23a420
