Description

Within these verses the poet weaves a tapestry of longing, love, and the fleeting nature of human existence. Drawing on the myths of Greece, the ritual of ancient song, and the heat of southern landscapes, each piece feels both timeless and intimately personal. The collection moves from tender trovas to soaring sonnets, all accompanied by delicate illustrations that echo the musical scores woven through the lines.

The tone oscillates between quiet reverence and vibrant celebration, inviting listeners to taste the perfume of wine, the hush of night, and the pulse of desire. Through vivid images and rhythmic cadences, the poems explore the paradox of beauty and imperfection, urging a meditation on art’s power to elevate the mundane. Listening feels like stepping into a private liturgy where every word sings the ordinary into something extraordinary.

About the author

António Tomás Boto

António Tomás Boto

1897–1959

A bold, lyrical voice in Portuguese modernism, this poet became famous for turning desire, longing, and urban life into intimate, musical verse. His work still stands out for its candor and the controversy it stirred in its own time.
