The aim of this essay is to investigate some salient features of the poetry of Virgílio de Lemos, who, by means of polyphony, revealed himself rebellious and transgressive when compared to the literary model that was the norm in Mozambique. The poet has created new images and vocabulary , printed new rhythm of his poetry , in order to reveal the multiple cultural knowledge present in their country . The production of various heteronyms (Duarte Galvão, Bruno Reis and Lee and Li Yang) reveals the effort to follow the innovations brought by the European avant-gardes, the Brazilian modernism, and break with the colonial paradigms . For the study presented here , we selected some texts published in the anthology Eroticus Moçambicanus (1999), organized by Carmen Lucia Tindo Secco (UFRJ). This book brings together the work cycles representative of Virgil, especially what was produced between 1944-1963. Virgil 's lyrical stand irreverence and transgression , constituting itself as a subversive attitude in search of identity , and the cry of a poet nonconformist repression against the colonialist.Downloads
