The orphic and solidarity condition of contemporary poetry

an example in Brazilian literature (Armando Freitas Filho)

Abstract

Modern lyric poetry arises from tenuous or abrupt ruptures, between the middle of the 19th century, until the beginning of the 20th century, leading to modernism. The feeling of contemporaneity becomes urgent for the new generations of poets that are emerging, but that do not free them from a feeling of loneliness and orphanhood. The article attempts to problematize some important aspects of the relationship between the founding fathers of experiments avant-garde and their supposed epigones. The great explosion of strands in the lyrical poetry of century, or its dialogue with epic and narrative instances, promoted a renewal extraordinary on several levels. The most recent poets, who emerged from the 1960s onwards, after the postmodern dissolution, they find in the voices of the past the support for new and disconcerting forms of expression in a universe of such dissolute referents, through solidarity of waves. Sign and silence remain united in this sense. Example with the Brazilian poet Armando Freitas Filho.
