Five Coimbra Poets delve into the realm of historical contingency, harnessing the accident as a catalyst that unites diverse poetic voices spanning centuries. Dom Dinis and Sá de Miranda, two prominent figures from the 16th century, join forces with the two 19th-century poets who have left an indelible mark on the city's literary legacy. Antero de Quental and Camilo Pessanha, both influential in their own right, play pivotal roles in this literary tapestry. Moreover, Fernando Assis Pacheco, with his poetic prowess, unveils the lyrical intensity of both landscape and cityscape, crafting profound and evocative poems that resonate with the worlds of his childhood, adolescence, and early manhood. This captivating collection, curated by Luís Quintais, is brought to life through the meticulous translation of Martin Earl and the captivating illustrations of Alya Kuznetsova.
