To think about the enunciation of love it is important to note how and to which literary characters such communication is usually attributed. The love discourse in the literature was mostly enunciated by male and white characters. The gap in relation to the love speech enunciated by female characters becomes greater when we observe black and lesbian characters. This article wants to analyze how the notions of love as undefinable, inexplicable and uncontrollable tend to be repeated in poetry and prose and how productions with a focus on gender, sexual orientation and race can modify the enunciation of love for some characters. For that, the poem “Lundu”, (2017) from the homonymous book by Tatiana Nascimento will be analyzed, in comparison with other texts of our literature.
