«Poemas Quotidianos» is the poetry collection by António Reis, published by Tinta da China in paperback (136 pages, in Portuguese).
These poems look at Portugal in the 1950s: a country of widespread poverty and limited horizons where small daily gestures —walking, dyeing clothes, hanging them out at night to wear again in the morning— take centre stage. António Reis's elliptical poetry avoids rhetoric and lets the reader complete what is only suggested.
A volume in Pedro Mexia's poetry collection. It brings back the two books António Reis published in author's editions in the 1950s; the volume, which appeared in 1967, had been out of print for decades.
For those who want to approach Portuguese poetry through an author linked to the Novo Cinema.
