TI - Between Pain and Text: Biblical Traces in Al Berto’s Horto de Incêndio de Al Berto
AB - The aim of this article is to analyse the role of biblical references in Al Berto’s (Alberto Raposo Pidwell Tavares’) last poetry volume, Horto de Incêndio, published in 1997. Previous research on this poetry has identified intertextuality, an interest in corporeality and the problem of the relationship between experience and text as dominant features of this work. Building upon these insights, I demonstrate that the numerous allusions to the Bible, especially evocations of the Apocalypse, in Horto de Incêndio are related to the author’s attempt to textualise the experience of illness and allow us to partially reconstruct his view of the ontology of the literary text.
