Árvore 4vols - ÁRVORE: Folhas de Poesia . Direcção e Edição de António Luís Moita, António Ramos Rosa, José Terra, Luís Armaro, Raul de Carvalho; Direcção gráfica de Luís Moita. - 1.º fasc. (Outono 1951) - V.II, 1.º Fasc (1952-1953). Lisboa: Luís Moita, 1951-1953. 4 n.ºs: il.; 240 mm. Published in Lisbon between 1951 and 1953, Árvore: folhas de poesia (Tree: Leaves of Poetry) was one of the most remarkable attempts to renew Portuguese poetry after the war. Edited by António Ramos Rosa, António Luís Moita, José Terra, Luís Amaro, and Raul de Carvalho—later with Egito Gonçalves—the magazine distinguished itself by its openness to diverse literary sensibilities, seeking to affirm a poetry of ”authenticity” beyond rigid confines. The ”leaves” and ”fascicle” format allowed it to circumvent prior censorship, although it did not escape the repressive censorship that dictated the publication's end after its fourth issue. Throughout its issues, some of the most significant names in Portuguese and international literature of the time contributed: Eugénio de Andrade, Jorge de Sena, David Mourão-Ferreira, Sebastião da Gama, Albano Martins, Paulo Quintela, among many others, as well as translations of Lorca, Neruda, Eluard, and René Char. Alongside essays and reviews, Árvore offered a space for new poets, brought together diverse currents, and left a unique testament to a time of intense literary debate and creative resistance in Portugal. !
