ASPECTOS DA TRANSCRIAÇÃO NA POESIA DE WALT WHITMAN E CARLOS DRUMMOND DE ANDRADE

Abstract

In this paper we aim to study some parts and aspects of the works of two poets, postulating that each one in his own way revolutionized the poetry of his time: Walt Whitman and Carlos Drummond de Andrade. What mobilizes our interest are three ways, basically: first, the fact that both poets present aesthetic innovations that point beyond the canonical limits and temporality; second, the transcritical movements, observable in the transcendental atmosphere, passing through the hardships of love and the exaltation of women, in the conformation of their writings, and third, poetry as instruments of universal truths, the amplitude of the worldview, , approximations and homologies, hybrid language, sounds and images, which make them different and worth considering separately. In this way, we support ourselves in critical theories that allow us to understand the greatness and singularity of these two authors, as well as the universality and permanent relevance of their texts. They also seek in their poems the thematic elements that bring to light all the thought produced by the generation of which both were part, without, however, ignoring the past that had also served them poetic matter, in the construction of new directions of poetry of the new times, without radical ruptures, but presenting surprising attitudes in their forms of writing, using to the full of procedures not very usual, as is the case of free verses, for example. Whitman and Drummond are part of a range of poets that are closely related to nature, literature, society and people in their humanistic dimension.
