Following his subject's unique approach to composition, Colin Bramwell puts all four of Pessoa's heteronyms into a present-day Scots-language vernacular, and so creates a parochial Pessoa for our own times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBramwell's adaptation matches his subject's restless lyricism. It is rare to see a translator go toe-to-toe with their subject in this way. The resulting entanglement makes for some astonishing, full-throated poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReaders will be delighted by this witty, emotive and artful reinterpretation of an indispensable European poet. \u003ci\u003eFower Pessoas\u003c\/i\u003e not only celebrates Pessoa's extraordinary range of modes and moods, but also marks the arrival of an outstanding new talent in Scottish poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Carcanet Classics","offers":[{"title":"Fower Pessoas | Colin Pessoa, Fernando; Bramwell | Paperback | 9781800174641 | New | Poetry 1761746","offer_id":49331221889176,"sku":"1761746","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81BnizFpstL.jpg?v=1782399811","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/fower-pessoas","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
