Abstract

The objective of this article is to comment on four texts by Ana Cristina
Cesar: a sequence of fictional letters and three poems. They appear in the
posthumous volume Antigos e soltos [Old and Loose] (2008), made up of poems, letters, diary entries and other texts, contained in a file of drafts kept by the author. The poems chosen are, in a way, about the dilemmas of poetic writing and the relationship between life and art.
