The boy and his mother

poetic perspectives in Memórias Inventadas

Abstract

The physical space in the poetry of Manoel de Barros, the Pantanal, is outlined in a poetic that transfigures the imaginary, when talking about space it is necessary that we speak about its residents, therefore, the female figure will be the emphasis in the research around the book Memórias Inventadas. Furthermore, because we talk about place, it is impossible not to talk about past time, memory, whereas memories start in childhood. For the lyrical self, the period of a childhood lived in the Pantanal leaves remains that turn into the theme of poetry.
