Poesia Portatil / Flash Poetry
1 total work
Fernando Pessoa es considerado, junto con Luis de Camões, el poeta más importante en lengua portuguesa y uno de los más reconocidos de la literatura universal. Álvaro de Campos, Ricardo Reis y Alberto Caeiro son algunos de sus heterónimos, verdaderas personalidades poéticas con estilo propio, personajes completos, con biografías propias y estilos literarios dispares. Se convirtieron así en máscaras del propio escritor, en las que se despersonalizó para dar forma, a través de sus múltiples voces, a la amplitud y complejidad de sus pensamientos, conocimientos, y percepciones de la vida y el mundo.
-------«El poeta es un fingidor.
Finge tan completamente
que hasta finge que es dolor
el dolor que en verdad siente.»

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
In How Sweet to Live Alone, the “Portable Poetry” collection gathers a sample of Fernando Pessoa’s most innovative poems, characterized by vanguardism and multiple identities.
Along with Luis de Camões, Fernando Pessoa is considered the most important poet in the Portuguese language and one of the most renowned in world literature. Álvaro de Campos, Ricardo Reis, and Alberto Caeiro are some of his heteronyms, true poetic personalities: complete characters with their own biographies and disparate literary styles. They thus became masks of the author himself, in which he could depersonalize through his multiple voices to give shape to the breadth and complexity of his thoughts, knowledge, and perceptions of life and death.
“The poet is a pretender. He pretends so completely,
that he even pretends it’s pain,
the pain he really feels.”
