O GUME E O TEMPO

Adalberto Alves

REF.36794

Year 1982

Lisbon; Arcádia; In-8.º of 130(2) pages; Paperback.

First edition of Adalberto Alves's second book of poetry, published after «Uma Obscura Visão» (1979). In this work, the author develops a meditative poetry marked by reflections on time, memory, transience and permanence, employing a refined language and a strong concentration of symbolic imagery.

The work also represents an early stage in the poetic career of Adalberto Alves, whose later literary and essayistic production would reveal an increasing engagement with Arab culture and the heritage of Al-Andalus, fields in which he would become a recognised scholar, translator and disseminator.

LIMIAR DA TERRA

José Manuel Mendes

REF.36798

Year 1983

1stEdition

Lisbon; Livros Horizonte; In-8.º of 116(4) pages; Paperback.

First edition of this poetry collection by José Manuel Mendes, published as no. 23 of the «Horizonte de Poesia» series. «Limiar da Terra» represents a significant stage in the development of the author's poetry, marking a gradual departure from the more directly socially engaged expression of his earlier books and a greater refinement of poetic language, without abandoning its relationship with history, memory and human reality.

Landscape and the earth emerge as both physical and symbolic spaces, in a poetry in which attention to language and the construction of imagery assumes particular importance. An important work in José Manuel Mendes's poetic career, later included in his anthology «Rosto Descontínuo 1963-1986».

TRABALHOS DO OLHAR

Al Berto

REF.7371

Year 1982

Lisbon; Contexto Editora; In-8.º of 78 pages; Paperback.

Expanded edition of one of the fundamental works from the first phase of Al Berto's poetry. The original edition, issued in a very limited circulation, had been published by the author in Sines earlier that same year; this Contexto edition substantially enlarged the collection and marked the poet's entry into a wider publishing circuit.

A work centred on the gaze, memory and the relationship between writing and image, permeated by a strong corporeal and homoerotic dimension. Photography, desire, solitude, landscape and urban experience emerge through fragmentary and intensely sensory writing, already revealing several elements that would become characteristic of Al Berto's poetry. A particularly significant title in the development of his work, later incorporated into «O Medo».

VARIAÇÕES EM SOUSA

Second edition, and first commercial edition, bringing together two chapbooks previously published by the author in non-commercial editions of very limited circulation: «Variações em Sousa», from 1984, and «A Bela do Bairro e Outros Poemas», from 1986. A work marked by a return to memories of childhood and adolescence, with Coimbra as a recurring presence, in colloquial poetry combining autobiographical recollection, humour, irony and satire.

One of the characteristic titles of Fernando Assis Pacheco's poetic production of the 1980s, displaying his particular ability to transform everyday episodes and personal memories into poetry that is at once affectionate, humorous and disenchanted. Cover by Augusto T. Dias.

OS OLHOS DE ISA

Lisbon; Moraes Editores; In-8.º of 56 pages; Illustrated; Paperback.

First edition of this poetry collection by Joaquim Pessoa, published in Moraes Editores' «Círculo de Poesia» series. Poetry of pronounced amorous and erotic expression, in which the body, desire, absence and solitude are articulated through language of considerable lyrical intensity. One of the representative works of the author's poetic production around the turn of the 1980s.

With a preface by Urbano Tavares Rodrigues and an hors-texte reproduction of Roland Topor's «Le Retour des Hirondelles».

ARTE POBRE

Casimiro de Brito

REF.36766

Year 2000

1stEdition

Leiria; Editorial Diferença; In-8.º of 230(2) pages; Paperback.

First edition of this poetic collection by Casimiro de Brito, bringing together «Intensidades», «Onde o Corpo Acaba», «Opus Affettuoso», «Última Núpcia» and «Ofício de Oleiro», combining previously published texts with others then unpublished. The volume displays a notable poetic unity, characterised by purified language, brevity and expressive concentration.

The author himself conceived «Arte Pobre» as a search for increasingly refined poems reduced to their essentials. Love, the body, desire, death and an awareness of transience run through poetry of great formal restraint, whose verbal economy at times approaches the Eastern poetic tradition. «Opus Affettuoso», included here, had received the Portuguese P.E.N. Club Poetry Prize.

O BISPO DE BEJA

Year 1980

1stEdition

Lisbon; &etc / Contramargem; In-8.º of 21(1) pages; Illustrated; Paperback.

Facsimile reproduction of «O Bispo de Beja», an anticlerical and satirical pamphlet published under the pseudonym Homem-Pessoa. The text belongs to the intense controversy surrounding the so-called «Bishop of Beja affair», an episode that attracted considerable public attention during the final years of the Portuguese Monarchy and the early Republic, a period marked by conflict between republican sectors and the Catholic Church.

Fifth volume in &etc's «Contramargem» series, devoted to recovering rare, marginal and ephemeral texts. An interesting document for the study of Portuguese pamphlet literature, political and religious satire, and early 20th-century anticlericalism.

Facsimile reproduction of two rare satirical texts by Guerra Junqueiro, brought together under the title «A Torre de Babel ou A Porra do Soriano», followed by «As Musas». Written in the irreverent and polemical vein characteristic of part of the poet's youthful production, these texts employ parody, sarcasm and literary satire, constituting curious documents from the early years of his literary activity.

Second volume in &etc's «Contramargem» series, devoted to the facsimile recovery of rare, marginal or very limited-circulation Portuguese texts. An edition reproducing the typographical presentation of the original texts and of particular interest for the bibliography of Guerra Junqueiro.

HERBERTO HELDER poeta obscuro

REF.29324

1stEdition

Lisbon; Moraes Editores; In-8.º of 242(2) pages; Paperback.

First edition of this critical study devoted to the poetry of Herberto Helder, published as no. 8 in the «Margens do Texto» series. Maria Estela Guedes examines the poet's work with particular attention to its symbolic language and processes of transformation, exploring themes such as the body, matter, alchemy, eroticism, death and poetic creation.

Published at a relatively early stage in the critical reception of Herberto Helder, it constitutes one of the first monographic studies entirely devoted to his work and remains a reference in Helderian critical bibliography.

POEMAS AMERÍNDIOS

Herberto Helder

REF.1509

Year 1997

1stEdition

Lisbon; Assírio & Alvim; In-8.º of 111(9) pages; Paperback.

First and only standalone edition of this collection of Amerindian poems rendered into Portuguese by Herberto Helder. Published in the same year as «Ouolof» and «Doze Nós numa Corda», it forms part of the group of works which the poet preferred to describe as «poems changed into Portuguese», an expression reflecting his conception of translation as a process of poetic recreation.

It brings together texts from different indigenous traditions of the Americas, connected with mythical, ritual and cosmogonic worlds. These versions occupy a particular place in Herberto Helder's work, in which translation is closely related to his own poetic practice. A work of interest in the context of the reception of non-European poetics in contemporary Portuguese literature.

Copy with slight foxing on the first and last leaves, otherwise in overall good condition. With ownership signature.

Herberto Helder

REF.36767

Year 2004

Lisbon; Assírio & Alvim; In-8.º of 568(8) pages; Paperback.

First edition of this configuration of «Ou o Poema Contínuo», published in 2004 and distinct from the 2001 «Súmula». Herberto Helder brings together here, in a form extensively revised and reorganised by the author himself, a significant part of his previous poetic work. The continuous revision, suppression and rearrangement of texts is a fundamental characteristic of the poet's publishing history and of his conception of his work as a poem in constant transformation.

A volume of particular importance in Herberto Helder's bibliography, representative of the way in which the poet successively reformulated and established his own body of work.

Several of its poems were set to music and widely disseminated, notably by Adriano Correia de Oliveira.
