Although generally considered one of Portugal's very best poets, Fernando António Nogueira Pessoa (1888-1935) printed but one booklet in Portuguese in his life time. That booklet, Message (Portuguese Mensagem), the esoteric epic at which he labored sporadically for more than 20 years before finally publishing it in the entire year prior to his death, is undoubtedly important to an understanding of Pessoa's poetic perspective, yet it remains, at least in the English-speaking world, relatively unknown and unread. Mark Will, author of the epic poem Of Characters and a Man, now offers to the public a fresh unabridged translation of Pessoa's overlooked modernist classic, to be able to reintroduce listeners to a work which is really as central to the Pessoan corpus as is a lot more celebrated, posthumously printed Publication of Disquiet.
