Resumo: Even though Vinicius de Moraes may be a poet celebrated for his amorous verse, there is another side to his work, a strange and prolific facet still largely unexplored by researchers. It is evident how much of his verse leans towards the anomalous, the ugly, the foul, and the putrid. In this sense de Moraes is, in the 20th century, the greatest heir of the grotesque poetry we find in authors such as Cruz e Sousa and Augusto dos Anjos. At other times, this vein runs into the spontaneous laughter of nonsense, as well as gluttony, eschathology, and incorrectness.
