A Leveza Do Olhar (Greek Edition)
Η ελαφρότητα του βλέμματος is the Greek edition of A Leveza Do Olhar by Agostinho Adrego Pessanha, translated by Aristea-Effrosyni Sapera.
Pessanha writes quietly. His subjects are love, memory, and the small business of an ordinary day, the kind of material most poets walk past. A room in the afternoon. A gesture someone made without thinking. He gives these moments room to open up, and they turn out to hold more than they first appear to.
The imagery stays clear throughout, and the rhythm works underneath the poems rather than on top of them. Readers who know contemporary Portuguese poetry will find a distinctive voice here. Readers who have never opened a poetry collection will find a door left open for them.
