Hilda Machado e a poesia em movimentos nublados

Abstract

This article analyzes the poem “Cabo Frio” from the award-winning posthumous book Nuvens, by Hilda Machado. Its imagery is scrutinized according to three distinct emphases: first, through the relationship between landscape and nature in her poetry; secondly, through the relationship between the spatialization of feelings and fluidity of a fundamental object — the cloud — that are exposed in it; and third, through the relationship between the representation of the figure of women in Greek theater, in poetry and in the present world. In order to contextualize the poem in relation to the poet's work as a whole, comments will be made relating it to passages from some of the other poems. In conclusion, the article underscores implicit allusions to politics, the situation of women and the rivalry between poets, and their intersections with philosophy, politics and theater, on the basis of the poem in question.
