Dirty Poem - Ferreira Gullar em inglês

Abstract

This study proposes an analysis of the translation into English of Poema Sujo, one of the most important works of the poet Ferreira Gullar. Initially, it is discussed Gullar’s poetic trajectory, from its beginning until the elaboration of Poema Sujo (1976), in Buenos Aires, examining the conditions that triggered the emergence of the poem, as well as the diversity of themes and styles covered in it. Next, it is analyzed Leland Guyer’s translation, Dirty Poem (2015), based on central elements of the poetic structure of the original text. Finally, the work presents an analysis of the translation’s paratext in comparison with other English texts about Gullar.
