Sebastião Uchoa Leite's work is circumscribed in a field of tension with tradition, which weakens the boundary of limits to whoever seeks to go through a shape of his poetic. The undeniable identification with the modernist masters does not mean the enlargement of such standards; on the contrary, they are contaminated by the crossing of the most diverse references. The ambiguity comes from the fact that the poet does not put limits in a temporal-spaced territory, nor set defined directions. It is about a hybrid textual project, a crossing one, which the nomad route makes it go through, side by side, the referring speeches of tradition and the contemporary world.
