An adequate exemple of what Marcos Siscar (2016) describes as the pluralization of possible poetics in contemporary literature, 'Rock, Star, North', by Scottish author Calum Rodger, sets its verses across a multitude of textual planes on which the poem is constructed — the page and the screen; textual dialogues and performance. This essay navigates throughout these textual planes, highlighting the effort to reconstruct, in Brazilian Portuguese, the fragmented mosaic that characterizes Rock, Star, North (2020; 2021): its intertextualities with a canonical literary past (by making references to William Wordsworth, Matsuo Bashō, Allen Ginsberg, among others) in contrast with the heterogeneity of the ground on which the work is built on (a video game, a virtual city); poetic voices that varies in tone across the different segments of the poem; and the language itself, which requires familiarity with the referential systems of both the video game universe and concepts of design and digital products. This essay accompanies the poem 'Rock, Star, North', published in its entirety for the first time in Brazilian Portuguese.
