Landscape Being Born : Selected Poems

This, Hasse de Brandao's first English-language book, reveals the textually dense and philosophically challenging quality of her poetry in which everyday experience becomes mythical, just as the mythic becomes "real." The work brilliantly shifts between light and shadow, past and present, to create an eerily magical quality in the work. Born in Carcavelos, Portugal, Fiama Hasse de Brandao is one of the most celebrated poets of contemporary Portuguese literature, the winner of the European Literary Prize in 1992, the D. Dinis Poetry Prize in 1996, and the prestigious Grande Premio of Poetry in 1997. Her several books of poetry have been translated into French, Italian, Spanish, Polish, Romanian, Slovenian, German, and other languages.Brandao, Fiama H. P. is the author of 'Landscape Being Born : Selected Poems', published 2000 under ISBN 9781892295774 and ISBN 1892295776.
