Abstract

The present essay seeks to establish an opposing relationship between totalitarian thought and a certain culture of scoring, on the one hand, and poetry as a praxis of error on the other hand. To do so, the essay draws reflections from the canonical tradition (of Camões and Pessoa), specifically from its defense of the mystery as a principle of conservation of the poetic, and from contemporary poems that advance such a practice of erring in the face of that which has no answer, bringing together other voices such as those of Herberto Helder, Luis Quintais, Pedro Eiras, Gonçalo M. Tavares and others.
