摘要：In this article we try to show how, in the work of the Portuguese writer Liberto Cruz, a compromise is established between the poem as a text free of any ideological imposition, and the poem as a social and political action; between the internal and personal experience of the author, and his commitment to the history of the country; between the self-sufficiency of the poem, and its links to the larger world; between the communication and elevation; between the work’s expansion of image and semantics and the communication of feelings, emotions and ideas; and between the textual “I” and the biographical “I”.
