Abstract

The poetry of Fiama Hasse Pais Brandão reveals a curious interest in still-life painting. The expression is mentioned in some of her poems, and many others dialogue with this pictorial genre characterized by the representation of inanimate objects, in which the human figure is, most of the time, elided. In this paper, we seek to investigate how Fiama's poetry appropriates and redefines the art of still life, using it as a way of apprehending and transforming reality and its relationship with the self; and also as a way of reflecting about the making of poetry itself.
