Between 2019 and 2021, Cult magazine published four poetic anthologies that can be read through a unifying perspective: Poemas para ler antes das notícias (2019), Quando a delicadeza é uma afronta (2019), Poemas para fazer o luto desse tempo (2020), Sob um sol escuro também se escreve (2021). This dissertation focuses on these four volumes and argues that they can be seen as a poetic and political panorama of Brazil - this view is supported both by a macro-dimensional reading (through the curators texts that introduce each volume) and by a micro-sized reading (which incorporates a verse-by-verse analysis of some of the poems from the four anthologies). The work also mentions other initiatives to bring together poems that – in a similar way to the Cult quartet – are explicitly linked to a concern with the Brazilian political scenario. Anthologies are mentioned that have as their guiding thread important events in national history, and which, consequently, raise the discussion about the functions of the act of collecting poems. Traditionally associated with the idea of collection (TONON, 2009), the poetry anthologies put on display by this work show that poetry anthologies can have other objectives than ranking and valuing poets and poems. Among these other possible functions are documenting, archiving and bearing witness to the history of a country.
