Abstract
This paper shows the inter-textual references in Orides Fontela’s poetic production in order to think the potential of the interface poetry/philosophy. A close-reading of the poem “Kant (Relido)”, identifies not only an interesting deformation of a citation of the Critique of the practice raison, but also a re-reading of Gaia and Uranus myth related in Hesiod’s Theogony. This paper shows the way the poet dialogue with her references, operating transformations and dislocations. The poem “Kant (Relido)” not only transposes allegorically the philosophical thesis in a poetic expression, but it answers poetically to the theoretical provocation of the philosophy. Orides Fontela’s poetic work allows us to discuss the problem of the poetic thinking.
