MONTEIRO (Adolfo Casais). SIMPLES Canções da Terra seguidas de uma Ode a Gomes Leal. Porto. 1948. - MONTEIRO (Adolfo Casais) SIMPLES Canções da Terra seguidas de uma Ode a Gomes Leal . Porto: Portucale, 1948. 32 pp.; 225 mm. - (Cadernos das Nove Musas) First edition. Simple Songs of the Earth represents a shift in style: instead of long poems of historical and political content as in Europa , they are now songs, followed by an ode in homage to Gomes Leal. The 1940s were the most intense period of Casais Monteiro's poetry, marked by his resignation from teaching and repeated political imprisonments, which did not interrupt a remarkable poetic and critical output. Highly regarded. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
