LITERATURE AND TESTIMONY IN THE WORK OF LEILA MÍCCOLIS
Abstract
Leila Míccolis has been a very active and prolific author in the contemporary Brazilian literature. She began writing her poems during de 1960s at a time when the country was undergoing major changes in government and when there was great repression in the country. Leila Míccolis stands out in this panorama of marginal poetry of the 1970s, for using in her poems large doses of humor and irony, especially when she criticizes the society of the time and the roles imposed on each citizen. Her acid poetry, bordering on aggressiveness, continues to be impressive, even years after the end of the dictatorship and the end of marginality for the authors. This work aims to investigate the importance of the author for marginal poetry and for a so-called “testimony poetry”, based mainly on poems relate to the testimony of political acts.
