About This Book

This issue assembles experimental poetry, short prose, critical notes, and visual art from Portuguese modernists, with contributions by Fernando Pessoa, Mário de Sá‑Carneiro, Álvaro de Campos, Santa Rita Pintor and others. It juxtaposes bold futurist aesthetics and programmatic declarations with lyrical and interseccionist verse, including a long maritime ode and a vertiginous prose fragment, while editorial pages explain the review's aims and forthcoming events. Four reproduced hors‑texte plates underscore the avant‑garde program, and publication details, subscription terms, and advertisements frame the number as both an artistic manifesto and a practical vehicle for a new literary movement.

About the Author

de Campos, Alvaro portrait

Alvaro de Campos

Álvaro de Campos was a prominent Portuguese poet and one of the heteronyms created by the influential writer Fernando Pessoa. Known for his modernist style, Campos's work often explores themes of technology, urban life, and existentialism. His notable contributions to literature include the poetry collection "Ultimatum" and his involvement in the literary magazine "Orpheu Nº2," which played a significant role in the Portuguese avant-garde movement. Through his dynamic and innovative use of language, de Campos reflects the complexities of the modern experience, making him a key figure in 20th-century Portuguese literature.
