Tempo de poesia: intertextualidade, heteronímia e inventário poético em Milton Rezende

Abstract

This dissertation examines the work of the mineiro author (someone who was born in the state of Minas Gerais). Milton Rezende and his poetic process. We have verified that intertextuality is very recurrent in his poetry, so an analysis of the concept of intertextuality has been conducted focusing on studies of Bakhtin and Julia Kristeva. Another characteristic of the poet is to use heteronyms to write the foreword of his books. We can see that the poems can be classified according to some cores that we have established, and we have conducted a study from this criterion on. Milton was influenced by various authors such as Augusto dos Anjos, Carlos Drummond de Andrade, Fernando Pessoa and Álvares de Azevedo, but has his own style of writing his poetry. Milton Rezende is an heir of occidental literature produced so far. His poems usually re-read a theme highly esteemed to romanticism, death. His fondness for cemeteries, funerals and rites of death is combined with an approach to contemporary themes and a critical view of the society. He restates his subjectivity by bringing back the memories of his town and his family and talking about his emotions and feelings as a strategy to insert, in his poems, his social and political concerns. The author inherits influences from romanticism and his texts repeat and reinvent the romantic lyric. Themes of loneliness, love and death, that are characteristics of the spleen, are frequently recurring in his poetry, so the need of studying the spleen in Milton Rezende.
