Reminiscências da cidade real e da cidade íntima: uma leitura da poesia de R. Leontino Filho.

Abstract

This paper aims to conduct a study of the book Cidade Íntima, from the poet R. Leontino Filho, and has as objective to point out in the poems the marks of the memory evoked by the poet in the construction of images related to his hometown and by means of poems that contains a large significant burden expressed through images that evoke the beloved woman. Both city and woman are confused in the poetic craft, from the dualities and similarities between the spatial city, geographical, seen in a objective manner, concretely, and the poetic town, intimate, where woman is seen as a duplicate space on the poet, composing the two existential cities, the real and the poetic city. Therefore, we sought the theoretical support in G. Bachelard, Emil Staiger and Octavio Paz, to support the comprehension of lyricism and composition of images in the poems.
