Nonsense poetry
Nonsense poetry is a genre of poetry where the verses don't appear to make much sense. They may use made-up words adjusted to the grammar rules of a language or they can just describe illogical scenarios.
In this way the poem focuses more on the sound and prompts the reader to interpret the poem in their own way, trying to make them find a sense to the nonsensical.

Thank you for your suggestion, but it's different from what the collection is about.
These poems use language in an unconventional way. Words are made up, but the grammar structure remains the same. The way sounds are arranged in existing words convey a meaning to native speakers. These poets take advantage of this and write a poem that while using made up words, still manages to convey a vague idea of what the poem is about.
Maybe this fits?

Only the first stanza has a real meaning, the rest is several Portuguese words that have nothing to do with one another (if you consider lexical and semantic sense). But
