商品簡介
The great Portuguese poet's swan song, now in English for the first time.
Eug幯io de Andrade was Portugal's most popular poet at the time of his death in 2005. In the course of his career, he won all of his country's poetry awards, including the prestigious Cam髊s Prize, as well as The European Prize for Poetry and France's Prix Jean Malrieu. Here in the United States, he is represented by eleven collections of finely-wrought verse, including Forbidden Words: Selected Poetry of Eug幯io de Andrade from New Directions. This book is Eug幯io's last testament. It testifies to his love of life, both around him and within. It testifies to his enduring love of language and of music. The deepest eros of this man, this poet, beyond the desires of the body and the sensuality of nature, springs forth in his lifelong dedication to the sound of words. It is the eternal eros of the music of his song.
A poetry of the body, a body with the potential of light, continually purified, that seeks out the word as a means of ascension.-- Jos?Saramago (Nobel Prize for Literature, 1998)
Levitin gives us the brilliance of de Andrade's poetry in rich and musical language. We owe him a debt for illuminating the work of this superb contemporary poet.--Colette Inez
The little country that is Portugal turns out great big poets like Cam髊s, Pessoa, and more recently Eug幯io de Andrade. . . . Alexis Levitin's versions are right to that exact point. Enjoy!--Gregory Rabassa
For all his gentleness, his civility, it is a fierce solitary who speaks in these verses, a man on whom the terrible insistences of Rimbaud and Verlaine. . . have not been lost.--Richard Howard
Through the simplest and most elemental images, in a tone of melancholy wonder, Andrade's last poems resonate with the mysterious silence of impending oblivion. Snow and fire, winter and summer, thirst and relief coexist in a dialectical dance of immediacy and memory whose rhythms are gracefully echoed in the subtle lyricism of Alexis Levitin's translation.--Stephen Kessler, translator of Desolation of the Chimera: Last Poems by Luis Cernuda
