At first, begin with a discussion about modern poetry and then to show the poetic of Alexandre O'Neill and its relationship with the Brazilian poetry. Finally, makes up a dialogue between the poetics of Alexandre O'Neill and João Cabral de Melo Neto, from the concept of reflection about making poetry. It is intended, therefore, to show clearly the awareness of making poetry on the way to the poetic thinking, so to promote a discussion about this process from the very refusal of poetry and the word liberation.
