Abstract

In Evaristo’s poetry, the identity of Black women is a recurring theme. Her lyricism combats stereotypes in the Brazilian imagination. This theme appears in Evaristo’s first poems, published in the anthology Cadernos Negros, a magazine that provided significant support to Evaristo as a Black poet. Therefore, in order to show how Evaristo addresses this theme in her poetry, we will analyze three poems originally published in Cadernos Negros: “Para a menina”, “Vozes-Mulheres, and “A noite não dormindo nos olhos das mulheres”. The theoretical foundation will be based on the contributions of Carneiro (2007, 2019), Silva (Cuti) (2010), Duarte (2005, 2007, 2011), and Ribeiro (2017, 2018).
