Description

Abstract:: Continuing The presence of Pessoa (Monteiro, 1998), which offers accounts of how a number of significant English-language writers have reacted to the work of the Portuguese poet in major ways, this piece calls attention to "A Friend of Dr. Reis," a story by Robert Boyers; poems by Eirin Mouré (Sheep's Vigil by a Fervent Person), David Shapiro ("At the Grave of Ferdinand Pessoa or the Triple Tomb"), and April Bernard ("Lisbon: 1989"); Bob Holman's unique way of using Pessoa's poetry in teaching ("Notes toward exploding 'Exploding text: poetry performance'"); and James Dickey's initial enthusiasm over his discovery of Pessoa's creation and employment of various personae, but later sour grapes denigration of Pessoa's poetry.; Dando continuidade ao livro The Presence of Pessoa (MONTEIRO, 1998), que relata como um número significativo de escritores anglófonos reagiu ao trabalho do poeta português, este artigo chama à atenção o conto "A Friend of Dr. Reis", de Robert Boyers; os poemas de Eirin Mouré (Sheep's Vigil by a Fervent Person), David Shapiro ("At the Grave of Ferdinand Pessoa or the Triple Tomb") e April Bernard ("Lisbon: 1989"); a maneira singular em que Bob Holman emprega a poesia de Pessoa no ensino ("Notes Toward Exploding 'Exploding Text: Poetry Performance'"); e James Dickey, com seu entusiasmo inicial, ao encontrar a criaçāo de múltiplas personae por Pessoa, e a sua atitude posterior de descrédito amargo da poesia pessoana
