Fernando Pessoa & Co.: Selected Poems
Though respected by many and thought by Harold Bloom to be "Whitman reborn", Pessoa leaves me cold and unfeeling. His poems are certainly easy to read and soft to the eye, but my indifference to his work has never faltered. It is proof positive to me at least that all of us are affected differently, that one size does not fit all, and that each of us brings a personal life experience to the pages we read that at times has so much of nothing to do with the world's countless others that the feeling is poignantly alien and frightful in its realization that for once being truly all alone. If that is what Pessoa was after then he is a genius. If not, then he is the run-of-the-mill poet I have previously branded him as.
