This article proposes a comparative reading of the work Infâncias: Aqui e Além-Mar, by José Santos and José Jorge Letria, alongside the concepts of childhood and experience developed by Walter Kohan, David Kennedy, and Jorge Larrosa. The central objective is to understand how the poetic memories narrated by the authors articulate with the philosophy of childhood. The investigation adopts the essay as a form (Adorno, 2003), grounded in the fragmentary perspective of Walter Benjamin and Theodor Adorno. The reflection is developed through thematic axes that emerge from the work—such as curiosity and openness, the relationship with the other, imagination, aesthetic sensibility, and the confrontation with limits. The results show that the poems transcend a merely memorialistic register and are constituted as philosophical narratives of childhood, resignified through poetry. It is concluded that the work configures childhood as a space of openness, potency, and creation, considered in its singularity and cultural plurality, and experience as a process of meaning-making, revealing itself as capable of illuminating the human condition in all its complexity.
