Abstract:
The poet Vasco Graça Moura excelled in his career as an essayist, translator, poet and writer, dividing his time with international and Portuguese politic. This participation has left indelible marks in his work, as we shall see in this essay, which seeks a deepening of the meanings evoked in the poem “a bacante” (2006, p. 128). It is noteworthy, at the end of his life, the way as the reflection on the political and cultural Portuguese and European's condition, opposite the extension of XXI century beginning's boundaries and hybridization marks indelibly the writer's work, placing him in the setting of postmodern poetry, as we try to show with this paper.
