Poesia:lugar de doação : sobre a obra poética de Fernando Guimarães

Resumo

Poetry in the Place of Donation (On the Poetic Work of Fernando Guimarães) is the title of the Lecture presented within the context of the Aggregation Degree, which took place on 21st and 22nd October 2004. More than 50 years ago Fernando Guimarães began a poetic journey of exceptional quality which can only be properly evaluated if seen within the wider context of the tendencies of Portuguese poetry in the second half of the 20th century. In this study the author reflects briefly on how
the figure of the reader is present; this – in the author’s view – makes this poetry a place of donation.
