The crowning of entrails. The representation of the reverse in Luís Miguel Nava's poetry

Abstract

In spite of its structuring dimension, it is above all in the lines of flight that is mirroned what can be considered the most assertive vector of Luís Miguel Nava's poetics: the shattered representation of the body. Anamorphic transits shape distortions which are primordially consubstantiaed in a complex network of exchanges between the organs of the body and the landscape, recreated and centered in obsessive spaces. The asperities which result from syntatic distortion contribute to stressing the strangement of Luíz Miguel Nava's work. The very accumulation of knots makes visible the difference of his diction, one of the most unique in recent Portuguese poetry.
