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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55214299578742,"sku":"9781800174641","price":10.23,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_35902308_439b61f4-0e91-4c8f-aef4-bd0a0f46ffa0.jpg?v=1756932687","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781800174641-fower-pessoas","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
