Joaquim Cardoso: embroidery and desert

Abstract

The article shows how Joaquim Cardozo works the poem through the idea of language as a deviant image, open, from the image of the crivo, to achieve its own desert. The article comes from Joaquim Cardozo’s critical thought and from a poem called “Prelúdio e Elegia de uma Despedida”, first published in 1952, in a book called TRIVIUM, to verify the relations of his poetry with that matter.
