Abstract (EN): This paper aims to systematize the most characteristic features of one of the most self-conscious writers of Portuguese literature of the twentieth century, with special emphasis on her works Área Branca (1978), and Cenas Vivas (2000), since these books represent, within Fiama's production but also in the broader field of contemporary Portuguese poetry, spaces of qualitative transmutation of the great issues that have crossed modern and contemporary poetic creation, at least since Romanticism so dear to the poet — language and representation, word and image, memory and imagination, identity and otherness, tradition and individual talent — which in their work were submitted to a dialectical synthesis with surprising reading effects.
