Abstract(s)
O poeta português Ruy Belo escreveu grande parte da sua obra durante a longa ditadura do Estado Novo. Esta obra é marcada por uma profunda busca existencial impregnada de desencanto em relação à realidade política e social portuguesa, na qual a censura afeta a consciência individual. É fora de Portugal que Ruy Belo escreve, ainda antes do fim da ditadura, o poema a que deu o título “Auto-retrato” e que apenas foi publicado postumamente. Confrontando este texto com “Nota do autor”, de País Possível, destaca-se a relevância de “Auto-retrato” no trabalho poético beliano, pela síntese de tópicos fundamentais desta obra.

Relating this text with “Nota do autor” from País Possível , this essay highlights the relevance of “Auto-retrato” in Belo’s poetic work, since the poem brings together fundamental topics of his production.
