SILVA, SARA RAQUEL DUARTE REIS DA  and  SASTRE, MOISÉS SELFA. PORTUGUESE AND SPANISH PICTURE POETRY BOOKS: AESTHETIC SYNERGY BETWEEN WORDS AND ILLUSTRATIONS. Rev. Bras. Educ. [online]. 2017, vol.22, n.71, pp.40-41.  Epub Sep 25, 2017. ISSN 1809-449X.  https://doi.org/10.1590/S1413-24782017227148.

This study aimed to discuss the relation between words and images in a type of text especially directed to children: the picture-poetry book. From significant examples of this literary subgenre still emerging in both Portugal and Spain, we propose a definition and characterization based on the review of poetic sequences in which illustrations support the verbal content. By focusing on picture-poetry books potentially aimed for adolescents and children, we present an analysis of several titles by Portuguese and Spanish authors, based on the dialogic reading between verbal and visual texts. The synergy found between these two components creates de foundantions of a new aesthetic construction which, in truth and in essence, has poetry as its matrix and owes its expressive effects to metaphors.

Keywords : children’s literature; poetry for children; picture-poetry book; illustration; metaphor.
