description The article "Poetry in Macau (Creative Writing)" proposes an essayistic reflection, of a literary matrix, on how the Portuguese presence in Macau materializes not only in buildings and institutions, but also in poetic spaces and urban imaginaries. Starting from narrative itineraries through the city initiated in 2013, the author focuses on places such as the Jardim de São Francisco—associated with the transition between religious orders, barracks, and urban transformations—to discuss the fragility and persistence of Luso-Iberian cultural memory in the "Far East". The argument articulates local history, symbolic interpretation, and intertextual reading, resorting to the contrast between ordering practices (religious and military) and the lyrical dimension represented by poetry, with particular emphasis on Camões and, allusively, figures such as Camilo Pessanha. Methodologically, the text operates as creative writing with a critical function: wandering, descriptive detail, and the biographical problematization of the figure of the poet function as tools to think about exclusions, displacements, and cultural survivals. It concludes that poetry acts as a force of sustenance and reorganization of meaning, converting urban and political losses into symbolic continuity, albeit always "reduced to minimal expression".
