In this article, analyzing the poems “Godido,” “Apelo,” and “Moça das docas” by mozambican writer Noémia de Sousa, we address the existence of a “poetics of sisters,” understood here as an experience of female and black writing that promotes a sense of sisterhood. In texts that formalize and denounce violent labor relations in the colonial context of Mozambique, this poetics brings together a set of discursive strategies expressed through the gaze and voice of a supportive and participatory female lyrical self. In the analysis developed, this poetic solidarity manifests itself in the recurring and symbolic use of terms such as Africa, Mother, and Sister, which structure the writer's engaged language and enhance a writing style that comes from a black woman who speaks of herself and, at the same time, of a collective of black African and Mozambican women, mothers, sisters, and workers.
