Abstract:
The purpose of this essay is to interpret Carlos Drummond de Andrade's Poema de Sete Faces (Poem of Seven Faces). Phenomenological reduction, ambiguity, and corporeality, among other concepts in the Phenomenology of Perception by Merleau-Ponty, lead and structure a reading based on the following themes: the left side, the correlation between self and world, and the primacy of perception. Such a reading brings together the seven part poem and dwivides it into three aspects or fundamental tensions, taking into consideration the effects of metaphor.
