Bernardo Pinto de Almeida

I really want to feature Bernardo Pinto de Almeida from Portugal, who I just saw at PoemsfromthePortuguese. He has a great wild style, really exciting like a Neruda on fire. Here's an excerpt from his "Powema 6" here -- and read more here if you like his work:

If only I could, I’d make you a princess,                         Se eu pudesse fazia-te princesa,

a feline queen, a white honeysuckle,                               rainha dos gatos, madressilva,

a dark night encounter on a motorway,                            encontro à noite numa auto-estrada,

or a lotus flower sprouting out of blood.                          flor de lótus a nascer do sangue.
