Abstract

This article, using Cesario Verde as a point of reference, presents diverse strategies of poetic reconstruction of the city via scansion and formal analysis of representative poems: “cidade/city/cite” by Augusto de Campos, “Ode Triunfal” by Alvaro de Campos (heteronym of Fernando Pessoa), “As Scismas do Destino” by Augusto dos Anjos, “Paisaje de la Juventud que Vomita (Anochecer en Coney Island)” by Federico Garcia Lorca and “O Inferno de Wall Street” by Joaquim de Sousândrade. These poems are taken from Portuguese, Brazilian, Spanish and US-American literature and provide a fertile line of inquiry into urban poetics.
