To experience poetry: The modern Ars Poetic of Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen

Abstract

The present article attempts to appraise the poetics of Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen looking into her Ars Poética poems. It will be shown how, for the author, the modern isotopy of a beign-in-the-world acts as one of the writing engines and, consequently, points to a reciprocal implication between Work and Otherness, between things and experience.
