Anghel’s library

Abstract This article seeks to propose some possible ways of reading the poetry of Golgona Anghel. We start with the assumption that some of Anghel’s poems, aligned with Antoine Compagnon’s and Jacques Derrida’s thinking, point to a work of citation/scintillation that makes the construction of a library legible. Poems, like a library, host in their verses/shelves a series of elements that have been snipped, cut out, and then grafted into a new place, pointing to what Pedro Eiras, when discussing Anghel’s poetry, called an “itinerancy of voices, places and times”.
