DUARTE (Afonso). OS SETE (7) Poemas Líricos. Coimbra. 1929. - DUARTE (Afonso) OS SETE (7) Poemas Líricos . Coimbra: Gráfica Conimbricense, 1929. 206 pp.; 190 mm. First edition. The Seven Lyrical Poems was the volume that gave national resonance to the name of Afonso Duarte, gathering and rearranging into seven books the poetry published between 1912 and 1929 – the Songbook of Stones , the Tragedy of Sunset , the Rhapsody of Sunrise , and poems scattered in magazines. The edition is by Presença, printed at Gráfica Conimbricense. Afonso Duarte's poetry, rooted in saudade (a feeling of longing or nostalgia), but with a pantheistic and visionary tendency, linked to popular beliefs and the landscape of Beira, would exert a notable influence on the neo-realist generation, in particular on Carlos de Oliveira.
