DARK HORSEY SAYS- Portugal's most famous modernist, Fernando Pessoa. Increasingly Pessoa's work is taking its place as at the forefront of that modernism of dissenting irony (beside Musil, Kafka & others).Limpid, aphoristic, gorgeous.Pessoa invented personas with distinct styles & produced whole bodies of work in that way- three of them are 'major poets'- Alberto Caeiro, Alvaro de Campos & Ricardo Reis. As Bernardo Soares, Pessoa wrote 'The Book Of Disquiet'. All of them are Pessoa. Once the leat known Modernist master but surely not, now, for much longer. |
