Eugenio de Andrade is the author of twenty-nine volumes of poetry
as well as numerous children's books, collections of prose
writings, and translations into Portuguese of Sappho, Federico
Garcia Lorca, and Yannis Ritsos. Forbidden Words: Selected Poetry
of Eugenio de Andrade, is based on the poet's own retrospective
Antologia Breve ("Brief Anthology") of 1998, expanded and edited
for English-speaking readers by his longtime translator, Alexis
Levitin. Marguerite Yourcenar spoke of "the well-tempered clavier"
of Andrade's poems, Gregory Rabassa of his "succinct
lyricism...summing things up in a moment, much like haiku." His
verse, deeply rooted in the rural landscapes of his childhood and
in the ancient Greek lyric, have the clarity of light on sand,
radiating pagan intimations of immortality.
