“A Ternura no Fio da Lâmina Samurai”: o humor na poética de Paulo Leminski

Abstract

This Course Completion Work presents an analysis of the poetry of the author Paulo Leminski, aiming to elucidate the humorous bias that permeates all his production, both in that which approaches concrete ideals or marginal poetry, as well as that of a confessional aspect. From sections that develop a brief explanation about the three cited influences, poems are used to exemplify the analyses, in addition to reports and interviews made by the poet, as well as the studies of Arlindo Rebechi Junior, Elizabeth Rocha Leite, Toninho Vaz, among others. The analysis clarifies that, even if Leminski does not completely join any of the links mentioned above, their influences are clearly shown in the author's poetics, treading a path in order to create a dynamic, simple language, with its own diction, which stems from reflective lyricism to acid humor, the total result of his creative freedom.
