Alice Spíndola and Bariani Ortencio are two of the most emblematic figures in the culture and literature of Goiás. Although they followed distinct stylistic paths — Alice with lyrical and universal poetry, and Bariani with a focus on folklore and regional identity — both converged in the construction of a deep and intellectual "Goiásness".
Below, I present the main points of intersection and distinctions between their trajectories:
1. Profiles and Literary Styles
