FERNANDO PESSOA

For Christmas this year I got another book of poetry from son Lee, who is in his fifth semester of Portuguese at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Already I am well into the book, as it is impossible to put down until my night-time repose calls me elsewhere. FERNANDO PESSOA, Portuguese poet (see last image below of the back cover) wrote in the "heteronyms" of the splits he made of himself into a multitude of literary alter egos.

One poem in this wonderful collection leads one to another.............there will be more in the SRN.
