Abstract

Mário de Andrade’s poems, “Poemas da negra” (1929), by means of silent music, reveals the poet’s subtle lyricism that is insinuated into the verses. To try to apprehend this music is to participate in the seduction game of the poem, to abandon oneself while at the same time attempting to capture its essence, experiencing, thus, the critical act as the “passionate effort to love and understand” (ANDRADE, 2002a, p.11).
