Abstract

The paper aims to present in poetry of Manoel de Barros the obscurity motives, ignorãça [sic] and disutility, frequent in his work on that appears an effort to think what exceed us as a project and speech, and wish “to achieve the purity of do not know anything more”. The analisys of selected fragments of his poetry seeks to approach the mystical and apophatic tradition where negativity (expressed in the metaphors of darkness, the emptiness of the desert    and in frequent mystic speeches) is taken as intrinsic to the reflective exercise on the foundations of our reality

Keywords: Manuel de Barros, obscurity, negative poetry, mystic
