In this article, I present some reflections based on reading the correspondence between Haroldo de Campos, Octavio Paz and Severo Sarduy. In this way, the focus is on the most robust correspondence, that is, that maintained with closest poets and writers, with whom Haroldo maintained friendly relations. Letters from other senders will be approached based on this central corpus, mentioned above. Therefore, alongside this central corpus, composed of letters from Cortázar, Paz and Sarduy, I place a corpus that I call orbital, made up of other letter writers and other documents from the collection that I was able to access for photos, consultation and analysis, such as notebooks of notes, records and class notes. The study of correspondence points to the possibility of systematizing Haroldo's intellectual trajectory, at the same time as it serves a reflection on the current socio-political context of Latin America and allows us to situate post-utopia as a device for understanding history, as much as a device for reading literature, articulating it with the neo-baroque.
