Antonio Cicero (1945-2024) was a poet who published three works of poetry during his lifetime: Guardar (1996), A cidade e os livros (2002), and Porventura (2012). In addition to his poetry in books, Cicero was also the author of numerous lyrics for songs in Brazilian popular music. This essay investigates, based on some parameters outlined by Antonio Cicero's own criticism of the poetry genre, how his poetic work operates some critical reflections on poetic making itself and on the city, two topics of singular interest in his poetry.
