The purpose of the present research is to capture the aesthetic project underlying Adélia Prado s poetics, starting from the analysis of three compositional elements in her work: metalanguage, metaphor and rhythm. The hypothesis that supports the research is based on the understanding that metalanguage, metaphor and rhythm are for Adelia Prado s poetry analogical to what the celebration of the Christian initiation sacraments (such as Baptism and Eucharist) mean for Catholicism. These are essential elements in both experiences, that is, they render the very existence of these experiences possible. It is through this aspect that the sacred and the non sacred, the immanent and the transcendent, the ascendant and the descendent are ultimately reconnected, so that both experiences, the poetic and the religious one merge: the poetic language aims at reuniting the name to the named thing, in the same way as the liturgical celebration accomplishes the fusion between the being and the Other Being. In Prado s poetry, as both dimensions merge into a single one, the word is retied to the being, the finite nature of the human experience is transcended and a reconnection between man and his ultimate otherness becomes possible
