Considering the collection Poesia gay brasileira: antologia, from 2017, we study how male homoeroticism is represented in poems written between the 19th and 21st centuries, and if such poems, from this representation, can be analyzed as gay ones. For that, we take into account the notions of homoeroticism and gay literature circumscribed by José Carlos Barcellos (2006). In the work we present, three poems were analyzed and described in more detail: “A um moçoilo” by Junqueira Freire, “Rapto” by Carlos Drummond de Andrade, and “Julieu e Romito” by Horácio Costa, written respectively in the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. As a result of this comparative research, it was concluded that the poems of the anthology researched present gay nuances only from the second half of the 20th century on in Brazil.
