Noite Aberta aos Quatro Ventos (Open Night to the Four Winds) was published in the same year that Casais Monteiro published Canto da Nossa Agonia (Song of Our Agony) (1942), constituting one of the most intense moments of his poetic production. The volume was dedicated to the memory of his father – “my Father, the best friend and the most generous heart of all I have known” – and interspersed with a meditation on Europe at war, exile, and the condition of the poet as a perpetual foreigner.
