Translated by Calvin Olsen, a published American poet and award-winning translator, this edition will be available in bookstores this February.

Fernando Pessoa, a leading figure of Portuguese Modernism, was a poet born in Lisbon in 1888. Despite his great recognition as an author, Pessoa only published one work during his lifetime, entitled "Mensagem" (Message), in 1934, a year before his death.

By his own choice, the poet achieved his success posthumously, through manuscripts found in his residence that were compiled after his death. Even today, Fernando Pessoa is studied in all Portuguese schools, so that several generations can understand his complexity as an individual and an author.
