THE POETRY OF HELENA KOLODY IN THE PARANÁ LITERATURE CONTEXT

Helena Kolody is a Brazilian poet, daughter of Ukrainian emigrants and was born on October 12th, 1912, in Cruz Machado, state of Paraná. Died on 14th February, 2004, in Curitiba, PR. With twelve published books, a lot of anthologies and complete works, Kolody while realizes a poetic “doing”, looks for the synthesis of her production. She chooses synthetic form poems such as: distiches, tercets, quartets, ephigrams, “tankas and haicais” (Japanese poetry). The recurrent themes into the Kolody’s lyric are: the time; the loneliness; the memory; the transitority; the permanency; the double; the travel among others. The “kolodiana’s work” shows themes and images that contribute to propose (re) significations in Paraná Literature context.
