Guimarães Rosa (1908-1967), when explaining his literary project in correspondence with his Italian translator Edoardo Bizzarri, gives poetry a value of 3 points on a scale of 1 to 4, which explains the marked presence of lyricism in his prose fiction. In fact, in Estas estórias, whose first edition was published only posthumously in 1969, there are narratives that can be understood as a result of this literary conception, so that the poetic experimentalism present after Sagarana - especially with Corpo de baile and Grande sertão: veredas - is perceptible in these narratives, from the perspective of the dissolution of genres, especially through the marked presence of poeticism. Thus, the challenging reading of Estas estórias, coupled with the fact that there are still few academic studies, when compared to the author's other works, dedicated to unraveling the intricacies of these texts, constitutes the driving force of this work, which intends to highlight the relevance of the stories that lacked "the last coat" of the author, as well as insert them in the list of the poetic crossing operated by the author of Minas Gerais in his prose fiction. Nevertheless, aware of this instigating challenge and with the caveat of the stage of intermediate production in which these novels were, we intend here to scrutinize them in search of the "3 points" of poetry mentioned by Rosa. Therefore, this study is guided by a theoretical instrument that focuses on discussions of poetry, philosophy, and the critical fortune of Rosa, in addition to seeking support in the author's manuscripts that have been in the custody of the IEB-USP archives since 1973. We will start from the studies of poetry and prose poetry, namely Staiger (1977), Friedrich (1978), Hamburger (2007), Moisés (2012), Heidegger (2003), Rosenfeld (2015), and essayists of Rosiana's work, such as Galvão (2000), Leonel (2000), Bosi (2007), Xisto (1991), among others, to analyze the stories. Therefore, "Bicho mau", "Páramo", "Retábulo do São Nunca", "O dar das pedras brilhantes" and "Remimento" are read from this perspective, so that the poetic aspects analyzed, whether in the manuscripts or in the texts published posthumously, even if they differ in relation to the works published in life, have relevance in the weaving of the narratives and reflect the author's literary principles.
