António Ramos Rosa Comments

António Ramos Rosa was born in Portugal (Faro, the Algarve) , in 1924. To make ends meet as a young man, both in the Algarve and in Lisbon (where he eventually settled for good, in 1962) , he taught French and English and also became a notable translator, but from early on his great passion was poetry. He read it voraciously and became, as the years went by, an extremely prolific writer and critic of poetry.
