Resumo
This article focuses on a Canadian poetry course that was offered in
the undergraduate English language course at Universidade Federal
de Goiás, pointing out the factors that were taken into consideration to
formulate the course program. In the second part of the article, a reading
produced by the students of a poem by the Modernist poet Margaret Avison
(Avison, 2005) is presented and discussed showing the strong points and
the diffi culties they had in its construction. The students’ opinions are
analyzed using Gadamer’s (2000) philosophical hermeneutics in terms
of the cultural horizon in which the poem was written and the cultural
horizon of the students reading the poem focusing on the familiar and the
strange. The contrast between referential texts and representational texts
suggested by Widdowson (1992) is also focused on.
