review 1: You'd think after so many hundreds of poems the man would run out of new things to say and the genius quality of his poems would start to fade. But think again.Pessoa is just... Goodness, I really have no words to describe such a man. My best praise could never suffice to translate all of his talent and all of my fascination. The more I read his words, the more I run out of words of my own to characterize him.For a while, just forget all the labels you were imposed on in school. It really bothers me how so many people claim to dislike poetry because they couldn't dissect and find the style and language properties they were supposed to in class. Poetry was meant to be felt and one does not need to take any classes for that; in order to read poetry all you need is to be huma... moren. Just read a poem and feel it tearing your soul apart.Álvaro de Campos is so powerful, so mystical, so distressing, so painful, so all over the place, so spot-on...Do not settle for "The Tobacco Shop". There is nothing but brilliance in everything this godforsaken man ever wrote.
review 2: To read Alvaro de Campos' poems, is almost like reading something I myself would have written if I had the talent, because Alvaro de Campos is me and I am Alvaro de Campos, in a way. There are few greater poets, in my opinion. A must read.Ler Alvaro de Campos é como ler algo que eu mesma teria escrito se tivesse o talento. De certa maneira, eu sou Alvaro de Campos e Alvaro de Campos sou eu. Há poucos poetas tão geniais na literatura, eu diria. less

O livro é perfeito, mas a introdução, é vergonhosa. Espero que alguém a modifique brevemente.
