lvaro de Campos, along with Ricardo Reis and Alberto Caeiro is one
of Pessoa's most important poetic heteronyms and, like these fellow
fictitious poets, made his first appearance in 1914. He was also
something of a public figure, his essays and reviews frequently
appearing in Portuguese periodicals. According to Pessoa, Campos
was born in the Algarve in 1890, studied naval engineering in
Glasgow, was widely travelled, and lived for a number of years in
England, working as an engineer. In later life he returned to live
in Lisbon. His poetry, especially the earlier work, celebrates the
modern world and the machine age, and marks the eruption of
futurism into Portuguese poetry. This 2nd volume of the collected
edition offers the latter part of Campos' output. Volume 1,
covering the work up until 1927, which will make this the
first-ever collected edition of Campos' work in English - will
appear in 2010.
