One of the main lines of contemporary Brazilian poetry concerns the ways of survival of the tradition of modernity in contemporary times. The recognition of the modes of permanence and rupture between the modern and the contemporary can be analyzed from the study of the compositional form of the poem. In this sense, the objective of this article is to analyze, in the poetics of Carlito Azevedo and Edimilson de Almeida Pereira, the formal elaboration of verse, highlighting, on the one hand, how the two poets dialogue with the tradition of modernity from the notion of "crisis of/of verse", in the light of the theoretical reflections of Mallarmé, Valéry and Siscar, and, on the other hand, to analyze the construction of verse in both poets, from the modes of agency, cutting and montage. Regarding the notions of cutting and montage, the main theoretical reference is the critical thinking of Georges Didi-Huberman, from which the hypothesis is put forward that the cutting and assembling of verses operate through the logic of fragmentation, disjunction and destabilization of form. From the analysis of the poems, it can be concluded, albeit partially, that the formal choice of elaboration of the verse puts in check the discourses that accuse contemporary Brazilian poetry of a language that despises form, but also opens the possibility of thinking about the cutting and assembling of the verse as the place of convergence of the images.
