Abstract
Abstract:
This essay explores Brazilian poet Manoel de Barros's disruption of mimetic representations of nature through the use of naming. His poetics concentrates on naming things found in the Pantanal wet plains, scaling down his gaze so as to emphasize the flora and fauna that populates the region.
