Resumo: Between 1978 and 1980, immediately before El Salvador’s long-lasting Civil War,American poet Carolyn Forché (1950-) worked in El Salvador where she represented Amnesty International as a journalist and a human rights advocate. Forché addresses her experiences in "In Salvador" -- the first section of her second poetry book, The Country Between Us (1981). In what follows, I will offer a reading of three poems –"The Visitor", "The Colonel" and "Return" while remarking on the way Forché was able to create a very specific poetics, which primary goal is to document her experiences and reveal their surrounding circumstances.

Forché relata a sua experiência naquele país na primeira parte – "In Salvador" – do seu segundo livro de poesia, The Country Between Us (1981). Neste ensaio, proponho uma leitura dos poemas de El Salvador, ao mesmo tempo que observo o modo como a autora criou uma poética específica, cujo objectivo é, principalmente, documentar as suas experiências e as circunstâncias que as propiciaram. Para esse fim, três poemas são considerados, nomeadamente: "The Visitor", “The Colonel" e "Return".Universidade Católica Portuguesa2021-06-22T00:00:00Zjournal articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.34632/gaudiumsciendi.2020.10069oai:ojs.revistas.ucp.pt:article/10069Gaudium Sciendi; No 19 (2020); 55-78Gaudium Sciendi; n. 19 (2020); 55-782182-760510.34632/gaudiumsciendi.2020.n19reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPenghttps://revistas.ucp.pt/index.php/gaudiumsciendi/article/view/10069https://doi.org/10.34632/gaudiumsciendi.2020.10069https://revistas.ucp.pt/index.php/gaudiumsciendi/article/view/10069/9783Direitos de Autor (c) 2021 Ana Sofia Soutohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSouto, Ana Sofia2022-09-20T11:32:39Zoai:ojs.revistas.ucp.pt:article/10069Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T15:49:35.152138Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
