Abstract

This study aims at analyzing how the city of Lourenço Marques is treated in the poetry of Duarte Galvão, heteronym of the Mozambican poet Virgílio de Lemos while he was in the guerrilla. In addition, the concept of the city as a body is highlighted to display how eroticism is  found in his poetics.
