This paper presents an analysis of Adília Lopes' poetry, arguing how the act of reading, from the perspective of the contemporary archive, deconstructs the original meanings to create new textual events. In Adília's rewriting processes, the appropriation and deviation practices of archives that reveal many different ways of reading stand out. The displacement of quotations and the mosaic of discourse fragments and memories constitute a sampled poetic as well as a figuration of a collector poet. It demonstrates how, in her writing, the act of reassembling and repurposing quotations promotes, through ironic deviation, a poetics of "unoriginal genius", as proposed by Marjorie Perloff, and/or a "uncreative writing", as in Kenneth Goldsmith's perspective, or or even a reading work, following Roland Barthes' notion.

The Brazilian contemporary poetry mainly that produced since 1980 has presented direct relations between city sights and subjectivity. In assumed space poetics the lyrical subject is faced with new city experiences that expand its world perception in observation of daily gestures. In these revelations the poetry takes to the investment in the first person who is addressed and it promotes the expansion of lyrical subject notion that by its time identifies itself with spaces and visual images. These associations create an out of mind subject who identifies itself to the different urban spaces. In this interaction, the lyrical subject creates a new look experience that breaks up the in/out. From the expansiveness and poetic addressed in many urban spaces, we analyze some poems of the books A cidade e os livros (2002) and Porventura (2012), by the poet Antonio Cicero. In these works, the urban theme present at the poems reflects the poetry and landscape relationship and with this and by the Brazilian poet's work, his poems are marked by space and time imprecision of contemporary city that mixtures to the mythical times and spaces.
