Resumo: The article analyzes the literature of the Goiás writer Cora Coralina as a project to manufacture antimonuments. By becoming a dissonant voice in the literary space and choosing the “silences of history” as the centrality of her proposal, the poet manufactured a counter-hegemonic discourse, an exercise that was characterized by the actions of loving and singing “with tenderness all the wrongs of [her] earth”. The analysis of some poems and a short story highlights the way in which the writer weaved images that corroborate the idea of ​​antimonument. When she goes against the masculine order of the intellectual universe and dares to say, even if prohibited, Cora becomes a metaphor and metonymy of subterranean memories. His persistence in giving his opinion when no one dared to do so, made his body an anchor of what society had chosen to forget, erase and detract from. Finally, we point out that the writer, kept alive in literature and in the Museum, is an anti-monument, as well as her work, spaces of clandestine memories and furtive memories about Goiás and the society of the 19th and 20th centuries.
