ABSTRACT
The article begins with a reflection on the political impasses in Brazil during the first two decades of the 21st century, to then ask how poetry reflects the exhaustion of the Brazilian formative process and the impasses of the consolidation of neoliberal capitalism as a hegemonic way of life. This analysis has as a background what, in the ongoing research, we are characterizing as difficulty, a concept that names the historical emptying of the idea of resistance. For this, we analyze two poems by the Brazilian poet Ricardo Domeneck.
