SENA (Jorge de). OBSERVAÇÕES sobre ”As Mãos e os Frutos” de Eugénio de Andrade. Porto. [1973]. - SENA (Jorge de) OBSERVAÇÕES sobre ”As Mãos e os Frutos” de Eugénio de Andrade . Porto: Editorial Inova, [1973]. 64 pp.; 195 mm. First edition, in a separate, independent publication. The text is the preface that Jorge de Sena wrote for the 5th edition of Eugénio de Andrade's * As Mãos e os Frutos* , published by Inova in 1973 in a joint volume with *Os Amantes sem Dinheiro* . It is one of the rare prefaces that Sena dedicated to a contemporary poet, reaffirming the enthusiastic assessment he had formulated since 1949, when he first reacted to his friend's debut book. The essay situates *As Mãos e os Frutos * – published in 1948 and considered the founding book of Eugénio de Andrade's work – within a poetics of lucid sensuality and the epiphany of the body, distant from both contemporary neo-realism and surrealism.
