Marcos Siscar e Drummond: diálogos possíveis

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the poetics of Marcos Siscar based on his books Metade da arte (2003) and Interior via satélite (2010). (2015). It starts on the assumption that the contemporary poet maintains a dialog with the Brazilian modern and modernist poetic tradition, specifically with the poetry of Claro enigma (1951), by Carlos Drummond de Andrade. This way, the elements that bring the two poets together will be considered: the restlessness of the representation of being and the world, the anguish about poetry itself and the recovery of memorialism. The study, being bibliographical and analytical in nature, will draw on the critical fortune of the two authors and, in order to elucidate this “transit” between modern and contemporary poetry, the interplay between tradition and modernity, will use Eliot (1997), Borges (1999), Agamben (2012) and Octavio Paz (1984).
