This article is part of the studies that relate geography and literature and aims to analyze the book “Brejo das Almas”, published in 1934 by Carlos Drummond de Andrade, from the perspective of urban living in modernity. To do so, we analyzed the geographical characteristics of the city of Brejo das Almas (currently Francisco Sá), using the census data and comparing its objective reality with the subjective expression of the author. Thus, we seek to go beyond the concept of representation, which is limited to a compilation or description of the space contained in literature. In this way, we seek to take a “geo-literary” look at the interior of Minas Gerais based on Drummond's work, understanding the literary work and the geographical space as a whole. We find in Drummond's poetry about the interior of Minas the strength of the contradictions of modernity and in Brejo das Almas the motto of a poetic expression that integrates urban space as a dimension of the existence.
