MONTEIRO (Adolfo Casais). VERSOS 1928/1936. Lisboa. 1944. - MONTEIRO (Adolfo Casais) VERSOS 1928/1936 . Edição definitiva, precedida de Algumas Notas para o Leitor de 1944, com um retrato do autor por Cícero Dias. Lisboa: Inquérito, 1944. 258 pp.: il.; 245 mm. Adolfo Casais Monteiro (Porto, 1908; São Paulo, 1972), poet, essayist, and literary critic, was one of the central figures of the magazine Presença , of which he was co-director with José Régio and João Gaspar Simões after 1930. Removed from teaching in 1936 due to his anti-regime positions and imprisoned several times, he would go into permanent exile in Brazil in 1954. Versos 1928/1936 brings together, in a definitive edition, the three poetry collections that constitute the core of his work from his youth and maturity: Confusão (1929), Poemas do Tempo Incerto (1934) and Sempre e Sem Fim (1937). The edition is illustrated with a portrait of the author engraved by Cícero Dias and features careful graphic design by Editorial Inquérito. Casais Monteiro was recognized by his contemporaries as a decisive figure in the liberation of modern Portuguese verse, and his poetry is characterized by a tension between intimate lyricism and existential and civic anguish. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
