Abstract

This article examines the poetry of Ana Cristina Cesar and Orides Fontela from a reflection on how the death underlies their poetic identities, but also it tears them apart, to put into motion a language of rupture, discontinuous, based on fragmentation. The death comes, therefore, as a principle of disorder, because it engenders a reading of their poems and the dialog that forms between them, through the failure of excess, the discontent and the imperfection.
