Fernando Pessoa

Edwin Honig

Susan M. Brown

Describes the many separate identities of Portugal's most important poet and gathers translations of selected poems written in the individual styles of his pseudonyms

The Poems of Fernando Pessoa

Fernando Pessoa is Portugal's most important contemporary poet. He wrote under several identities, which he called heteronyms: Albet Caeiro, Alvaro de Campos, Ricardo Reis, and Bernardo Soares. He wrote fine poetry under his own name as well, and each of his "voices" is completely different in subject, temperament, and style. This volume brings back into print the comprehensive collection of his work published by Ecco Press in 1986.
