The research proposed here aims at the central analysis of some poems from the Cape Verdean works Arquipélago (1936) by Jorge Barbosa and Caminhada (1963) by Ovídio Martins. This analysis will be conducted through the lens of Cultural Humanistic Geography, along with theories of exile, diaspora, and landscape. Through this interdisciplinary approach between Literature and Geography, the goal is to explore how the experiences of exile and diaspora affect the experiences of the different lyrical selves present in the selected poems. Exile and diaspora are complex phenomena that profoundly impact an individual's identity and experience. In this context, the research is grounded in the theoretical contributions of Edward Said (2006) and Alain Nouss (2016), who address these themes from different perspectives. Regarding the perspective of landscape, the research draws on authors such as Éric Dardel (2011) and Yi-Fu Tuan (2013). The choice of the works of Jorge Barbosa and Ovídio Martins, both Cape Verdean writers, is significant, as Cape Verde is a country marked by experiences of exile and diaspora throughout its history. These poets, through their verses, offer valuable insights into the complex dynamics of identity and the experience of space in a context of displacement and dispersion. Thus, this research seeks to contribute to the understanding of the relationships between literature, geography, and human experience, shedding light on how the experiences of exile and diaspora are represented and experienced through poetry. Furthermore, it promotes an interdisciplinary discussion that enriches the field of cultural humanistic geography and African literature studies, drawing on important references such as Laranjeira (1995) and Caputo (2006), who also dedicated themselves to the study of African literature and the understanding of the complex relationships between space, identity, and literature.
