Abstract

The present essay approaches  the poem "Mula de Deus", published in the latest narrative Estar Sendo. Ter Sido by Hilda Hilst. Both, poem and narrative, are a kind of farewell and finalization to the Hilda Hilst literary project. Firstly, it is made a distinction between the Hilda Hilst persona personalis and persona ficta and after a poem structure analysis based on the text "The End of the Poem" by Giorgio Agamben. Finally, it is developed a reading about the poet-mule, a desiring divine possession creature, and its prayers, tortures and failures.
