Álvaro de Campos is one of the most influential heteronyms created
by Portugal’s great modernist writer Fernando Pessoa. According
to Pessoa, Campos was born in Tavira (Algarve) in 1890 and studied
mechanical engineering in Glasgow, although he never managed to
complete his degree. In his own day, Campos was celebrated—and
slandered—for his vociferous poetry imbued with a
Whitman-inspired free verse, his praise of the rise of technology
and his polemical views that appeared in manifestos, interviews and
essays. Here in Margaret Jull Costa and Patricio Ferrari’s
translations are the complete poems of Campos. This edition is
based on the Portuguese Tinta-da-china edition and includes an
illuminating introduction about Campos by the Portuguese editors
Jerónimo Pizarro and Antonio Cardiello, facsimiles of original
manuscripts and a generous selection of Campos’s prose texts.
