This present paper means to examine the work A escola das facas (1980), from the Pernambuco poet João Cabral de Melo Neto, in order to verify how the autobiographical discourse appears in this work. The traditional criticism often treats João Cabral as an antilyrics poet and how the very Cabral called himself. It is a fact that the Pernambuco poet developed over his literary project, a rational and objective stance since his first work, Pedra do sono (1942), so as to avoid conducting a poetry dedicated to himself. However, it is also a fact that denying to talk about himself already implies to return to himself. That is why in many Cabral poems you can see that although the person who speaks tries to simulate a denial of himself, he insists on appearing along the literary path of João Cabral. Assuming that no poetry can be depersonalized, at least not the way some critics tried to say, it is that we think the book A escola das facas and on a builder axis of the book, which is organized through individual memory / collective of João Cabral. The work from 1980 is an innovation if you look at the earlier works. This is because the previously written books, Cabral avoided as much as possible to talk about himself, by writing a poetry of things, which denied the return to the I poet. Yet, the study that serves as an object of study in this work, João Cabral de Melo Neto makes room in his poetry to memory, which is both his, but also collective. So the work was structured by means of a discourse that can be autobiographical and that seems to govern the composite unit of the book. Thus, the study aims to examine how the poet who refused to talk about thimself composes poems that are part of A escola das facas, watching for him to turn his attention to himself, changes his poetic project.
