The first pages of Erros Individuais [Individual Errors] (2010) pose the question of whether it is worth writing poetry; the answer is rather ambiguous. In Serém, 24 de Março (2011), the poetic persona decides to retreat to a house in the country, far away from the values of the cities. Very recently (2017), José Miguel Silva published a book called Últimos Poemas [Last Poems], probably a goodbye to poetry. At the same time, the author has been publishing online texts in which he denounces the dangers of climate change, far-right politics, and the end of democracy. Should we identify a coherent gesture of withdrawal in José Miguel Silva's work? Or is there a sort of ironic resistance in this farewell to poetry and to the world of the polis?
