Item Mon pays est une mosaïque: Língua Francesa e literatura em cabo verde(Universidade do Estado do Amazonas, 2019-01-21) Silva, Rui GuilhermeThis text presents some considerations on the presence of the French language and its literatures in the modern poetry of Cape Verde. Firstly, the author distinguishes between the refusal and the selection of the Francophone modernity by the generations of José Lopes and Jorge Barbosa respectively. Then, the advantageous acceptance of either the symbolism or the surrealism by poets such as Mário Fonseca, Jorge Carlos Fonseca, Valentinous Velhinho and J.L. Hoppfer C. Almada is shown. Finally, the author points out the two greatest Cape Verdean poets of the latest decades, João Vário and Arménio Vieira, referring to some of the aspects which, in their work, best testify the learning from the Francophone masters. Arménio Vieira comes to his Damascus Road while reading the works of Lautréamont or Pierre Reverdy. The book Exemple Restreint, written originally in French (in 1969) and much influenced by Saint-John Perse, occupies a central place in the poetical work of João Vário.
