The poetics of Bisa Bia, Bisa Bel (1981) emphasizes its literary quality and allows multiple interpretations: one of them, object of investigation of this article, is the consideration that there is a hybrid language, resulting from the association between the literary and photographic. From this, I will present how the fruitful relationship between literature and photography in the work of Ana Maria Machado (1941) happens. It is the reader/hearer who will make the mooring between these two arts. Currently, reflections on the intersection of the arts have been common, which justifies the writing of this article. In addition, the photograph element present in Bisa Bia, Bisa Bel can be attractive to contemporary readers who are interested in technologies and are concerned with their images on social networks. Such an approach updates and recognizes the aesthetic-artistic character of a work of the eighties, fostering the reflections of Brazilian youth literature, which is gradually constituted as a literary field. In addition, my interest in photography contributed to the direction of the study. The methodology used in this article was based on a bibliographical research of literary theories - specifically on juvenile literature, poetry, image and time - and philosophical postulates about photography.
