Abstract

How much can poetry survive multiculturalism? A comparative approach between the Irish poet Rita Ann Higgins and the Portuguese poet Adília Lopes can provide us with some clue. Yet, questions regarding aesthetics and the contemporary discussions on identity, feminisms and belonging are still left open. Unless we aim at reading comparatively snapshots of two of the most humorous poets of our times.
