ABSTRACT
This work proposes a phenomenological approach on the poetry of Stela do Patrocínio. She was interdict at Juliano Moreira Colony for about 30 years. Her poetry expresses far beyond cruel beauty. Such an experience of engagement is imposed, as if the gaze of the poet invaded the reader and installed that impression on him as an organ of the senses. This essay celebrates otherness as a source of knowledge and of the possibilities that open up when we allow ourselves to enter into an unthinkable world. The aim of this work is to raise resistance to homogeneous thinking, and to call for a position to be taken.
