I currently have World Cup fever and I couldn’t resist sharing this from My Poetic Side:
The Poetry World Cup, by My Poetic Side
Personally for Portugal, I would rather have seen someone other than Saramago. But you have to put your most renowned poet in the competition, don’t you?
For those interested in other Portuguese poets, please do check out these translated poems:
- Furies by Sophie de Mello Breyner Andresen
- Botanics of peace: visitation by Ana Luísa Amaral
- Mornings on the Ground by Rosa Alice Branco
There clearly needs to be some more English translations of Portuguese poets.
