摘要：There is much talk today about a “crisis in poetry” and a “crisis incriticism”. This essay aims to describe this diagnosis and to localizeits origin. Starting from the recent discussions on journalistic criticism,the objective will be to perceive, taking as a framework the poetics of acontemporary author and from his relation with the literary and editorialworld, a condition that permeates the two alleged crises. The bet is thatthe poetics of Paulo Henriques Britto offers a privileged perspective ifone intends to consider the effects and the relationship that take placebetween criticism and poetry itself.
