In 1940, Mario Quintana made his debut in literature with the publication of A Rua dos Cataventos, a book with 35 sonnets. The aim of this work is, by starting from the analysis of a corpus that includes some of the sonnets by Mario Quintana, to verify in what measure poetry becomes dissonant in relation to the context where it is inserted. This dissonance acquires a meaning of resistance to what oppresses the individual - including ideology, the barbarism of a capitalist world and time. Among the forms that this resistance may take we can find: the exile in a utopian space, the identification with childhood and a poetic discourse that searches the valuation of poetry.
