📱 eBook en inglés FOWER PESSOAS

Fower Pessoas is the most original work of translation that you will read this year: a bold reimagining of Fernando Pessoas poetry by an exciting next-generation Scottish poet. Following his subjects unique approach to composition, Colin Bramwell puts all four of Pessoas heteronyms into a present-day Scots-language vernacular, and so creates a parochial Pessoa for our own times.

Bramwells adaptation matches his subjects 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.

Readers will be delighted by this witty, emotive and artful reinterpretation of an indispensable European poet. Fower Pessoas not only celebrates Pessoas extraordinary range of modes and moods, but also marks the arrival of an outstanding new talent in Scottish poetry.
