Urban spaces in traffic in Antonio Cicero poetry

Abstract

The Brazilian contemporary poetry mainly that produced since 1980 has presented direct relations between city sights and subjectivity. In assumed space poetics the lyrical subject is faced with new city experiences that expand its world perception in observation of daily gestures. In these revelations the poetry takes to the investment in the first person who is addressed and it promotes the expansion of lyrical subject notion that by its time identifies itself with spaces and visual images. These associations create an out of mind subject who identifies itself to the different urban spaces. In this interaction, the lyrical subject creates a new look experience that breaks up the in/out. From the expansiveness and poetic addressed in many urban spaces, we analyze some poems of the books A cidade e os livros (2002) and Porventura (2012), by the poet Antonio Cicero. In these works, the urban theme present at the poems reflects the poetry and landscape relationship and with this and by the Brazilian poet’s work, his poems are marked by space and time imprecision of contemporary city that mixtures to the mythical times and spaces.
