ABSTRACT
The aim of this study is to analyse, in the poem Da bomba [From the Bomb], in Reamanhecer [New Dawn], the second section of Stella Leonardos' poetry book Amanhecência [Dawning] (1974), the relationship between the processes of reading and writing in the metapoetic exercise of appropriation of Carlos Drummond de Andrade's poem A bomba [The Bomb]. This metapoetic rewriting operates through analogical thinking, in which the figure of the critical poet in her relationship with tradition is outlined. With this double movement, based on the displacement of the lyrical subject out of itself, our research hypothesis is that this is a unique book-anthology in which the poet appropriates poems with which she dialogues by means of two procedures: expansion, the generator of a parallel song, and reduction, in which the gloss of the epigraphs is a key resource.
