The fixed form is a mark in the work of the poet Bruno Tolentino. Among the various forms he practiced, however, the observation of his poetic activity leads us to affirm that the sonnet is the privileged form. This article intends to problematize this observation, assuming that the presence of sonnets in Tolentino’s work is not only a formal option, but it is part of his investment in a personal poetic program in the Brazilian literary field, especially in the 1990s and in the early years of the 2000s. --- DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.25094/rtp.2017n23a397
