Resumo
The present thesis, Yearnings of a critical thinking: tensions between essays and poetry within
Paulo Leminski, analyses the essays of this poet from Curitiba, its critic and poetry. We aim, from
this scope, to map and analyze the tensions that occur in these productions. As a way to understand
if they constitute a contradiction in Leminski’s speech, as well as if they bring “metamorphoses”
to his poetic work. This study is divided into three moments, the first, in which we seek to place
Leminski in a tradition of Brazilian critic-poets, such as Mario de Andrade and the triad of the
concretists poets, formed by Augusto and Haroldo de Campos and Décio Pignatari. In addition to
that we carried a survey on the collection of essays from the author that were published in national
circulation newspapers, in magazines known as “nanicas”, besides the books organized by the
author himself, by his heirs or by publishers. In the second moment, we built some considerations
towards the essay genre, rescuing its origins from the French essayist Montaigne, as a way to
understand why Leminski had chosen to develop his critic through the essay and not another genre.
We understand that the essay, considered a hybrid genre par excellence, enabled the author to
dialogue with other forms and discourses. In a way that his essay development ended up being
extended to his creative work, originating a reflexive expression that culminated in poems-critics
and into poetics essays, corresponding to the epistles that Leminski sent to friends as a way to
discuss the ideas surrounding his inventive process. In the third moment, we turned ourselves to
investigate the dialogue that the author established with his predecessors, from whom we chose
three components that we consider to be fundamental to the modeling of his diction, the
Concretism, the countercultural “várzea” and the haicai. It interested us to debate what Leminski
says in his critic towards these aesthetics, once his statements, sometimes, diverge from what he
performed in his poetry. The analyses carried out show that the essay production is guided by
tensions. These are related to his yearning for the reader and also to the precepts that guide the
traditions chosen by the poet to guide his expression. Because what he demonstrates to
acknowledge about them is not what he applies in his own poetry. Moreover, we verified that
Leminski’s relation with his predecessors is also guided by the veil of denial and misreading,
aspects that contributed for the poet to forge a poetical diction that was not permanently affiliated
to any aesthetic.
