o sombrio trabalho da beleza 1<br />

(Universida<strong>de</strong> <strong>do</strong> <strong>Minho</strong>)<br />

The poetics of continuity un<strong>de</strong>rlying <strong>Herberto</strong> Hel<strong>de</strong>r’s literary<br />

writing, as well as the powerful and diverse intertextual dialogues<br />

it keeps nourishing, justifies the <strong>de</strong>velopment of a possible baroque<br />

reading of his poetic work. More than pursuing a thematic or a stylistic<br />

profile, our focus is on the visual quality of Hel<strong>de</strong>r’s poetry, namely on<br />

the strategies that un<strong>de</strong>rlie a certain dramatising of his poetic look,<br />

and on his distinctive mo<strong>de</strong>s and contexts of perception. This leads us,<br />

on the one hand, to different approaches based on photographic and<br />

cinematographic visual grammars, or still life painting techniques and<br />

interpretative effects. On the other hand, it also implies religious and<br />

visionary baroque imagery, all seemingly summoned by Hel<strong>de</strong>r’s intensive<br />

writing and his processual un<strong>de</strong>rstanding of beauty.<br />

Olhan<strong>do</strong>, <strong>do</strong> ponto em que nos encontramos, para a vasta bibliografia<br />

editada <strong>de</strong> <strong>Herberto</strong> Hel<strong>de</strong>r, fica a sensação <strong>de</strong> uma disputa<br />

interminável entre o que seja escrever e o que, aparentemente, tem<br />

que ser a escrita. entre Poema e posia. O que reverte directamente <strong>do</strong><br />

mo<strong>do</strong> como o poeta tem compreendi<strong>do</strong> o seu métier oficinal: um artesanato<br />

que se faz com o corpo e contra ele, que lida com sangue e carne<br />

embora se esquive quase sempre à forma, espacialmente organizada e<br />
