PoeMario: dois “loucos simétricos”

Abstract

This essay’s focus of interest is the presence of Edgar Allan Poe in Mario Quintana’s work, which can be evidenced by the intertextuality that may appear as an explicit theme, in some poems, or as a poetics that will inspire the possible approach of common elements, such as: the recurrence of some images, the given value of musicality and sonority. A double reading can reveal not only Mario Quintana as a Poe’s reader and admirer, but also as a writer, inventor of worlds and poets.
