This work offers a comparative analysis of the poems “Fato Bruto”, by Leila Danziger, and “parque das ruínas”, by Marília Garcia, through their approaches to photography. It will be seen, through Intermediality Studies, that both poetics represent two sides of the same phenomenon: in Garcia, the photography of the banal and of the everyday as a way of opposing sensationalist and tragic photographs; in Danziger, the problematization of journalistic photography and its loss of meaning in contemporary times. The aim of this research is to investigate how the thematization of the function of images contributes to the elaboration of a poetry of a self-reflexive nature. Furthermore, it is sought to ascertain which conceptions about poetry and poetic language become explicit when Garcia and Danziger propose to debate the role of images in our society.
