Five Coimbra Poets

Rate this book
"Five Coimbra Poets" takes historical contingency—the accident—as a pretext that would seem to unify profoundly different poetical voices from diverse centuries. Dom Dinis and Sá de Miranda are joined by the two 19th century poets who most marked the memory of literature which the city keeps alive and which the poems themselves keep alive of the city. Both Antero de Quental and Camilo Pessanha are, in this sense, crucial. The lyrical intensity of landscape and cityscape is alive as well in Fernando Assis Pacheco, who perhaps wrote the most penetrating and moving poems about Coimbra and its worlds, which were those of his childhood, adolescence and early manhood.

"Five Coimbra Poets" assume a contingência histórica — o acidente— como pretexto que parece unir vozes poéticas profundamente distintas de séculos diversos. A nomes como D. Dinis e Sá de Miranda acrescem aqueles que, no século XIX, em particular, mais marcaram a memória que a cidade preserva da literatura e que a literatura preserva da cidade, como Antero de Quental e Camilo Pessanha. Mas a intensidade lírica da paisagem que a cidade recobre poderá e deverá ser também medida por poetas como Fernando Assis Pacheco, que terá escrito os versos mais pungentes sobre Coimbra e seus mundos que, para ele, foram os da infância e juventude. Edição bilingue com tradução para a língua inglesa.
