"Dialogues with the gauche" explores the dialogical power of Carlos Drummond de Andrade's poetry. This study challenges Michael Bakhtin's theory, which affirms the democracy of speech only within the novel genre. According to the author, this genre incorporates various social strata in full coexistence, whether harmonious or turbulent. In contrast, poetry would exercise the power of the authoritative voice, without providing dialogue. This work demonstrates how much the poet aggregates and spreads discourse, making use of open speech.
