It seems like reality itself our little faded eternity

The title, combining a phrase by Argentinean poetess Tamara Kamenszain and a verse by Brazilian poet Luca Argel (resident in Portugal), is an attempt to synthesize some traits in current Brazilian poetry that we hope to highlight. We’ve chosen poets that have recently caught the public’s eye (Simone Brantes, Daniel Francoy, Ana Estaregui, Luca Argel) to observe the convergence of a certain feeling of our times. In all of them, we bring out three interrelated facets: the absence of any attrition between the literary and the non-literary; life’s apparent focus on its strictly everyday, smallish aspects; and the reduction of time to the invariable present. This last trait is articulated with the notion of “presentism” and with reflections by Rosa Maria Martelo on today’s poetry desire to rarefy and sparse out time.
