A poet that was thirsty for the absolute, a transparent author of extensive and multifaceted works, he covers all literary styles, writes about attachment to the land and shows himself as he is in an autobiographical record that transcends his history. His journals, which he wrote over nearly 60 years, traverse his life in time and space with prose, poetry, social criticism, philosophical reflections, descriptions of landscapes, cultural reviews. The portrait of a country in the 20th century, the arid nature of Trás-os-Montes, childhood, family, travels, the poems in which he shouts and protests and offers himself to others, the Douro harvests and the harsh working conditions, men who are animals, animals that are men. Portuguese and European. Regional and universal. His eyes encompass a wide-ranging, vast universe. A writer of the world, the winner of several international prizes, a nominee for the Nobel Literature Prize.
