Abstract
This article analyzes the ekphrastic poems of the contemporary Brazilian poet Marília Garcia, created from cinematographic works. Considering the transmedial approach of concepts in Garcia’s poetry – idea introduced by Joana Matos Frias in the article “‘Tudo o que em mim pensa está filmando’: pertença e repetiçã o na poesia brasileira contemporânea” (2016) – this article explores the idea that the ekphrasis, in her work, appears as a form of critical analysis of the movies described. This approach suggests a poetic practice that is also an exercise in critical reflection, placing the self-poet in a double condition when in contact with the work of art, as a spectator and receiver and also as a producer of critical reflections through poetic making itself.
