Summary/Abstract: The paper presents an analisis and interpretation of a poem “Carta para Manuel Bandeira” written by Jorge Barbosa, in the light of the post-colonial theory. After a short introduction explaining the proximity between those two authors and their spaces, some questions about the intertextuality are raised in order to show reasons which led the Cape Verdean author to write a poetic letter to the Brasilian author.
