La
coleccion Poesia Portatil reune en Suave es vivir
solo una muestra de los versos mas rompedores de
Fernando Pessoa, creador de una obra dominada por el vanguardismo y las identidades multiples. Fernando Pessoa es considerado, junto con Luis de Camoes, el poeta
mas importante en lengua portuguesa y
uno de los mas reconocidos de la

literatura universal. Alvaro de Campos, Ricardo Reis y Alberto
Caeiro son algunos de sus heteronimos,
verdaderas personalidades poeticas con

estilo propio, personajes completos, con biografias propias y
estilos literarios dispares. Se
convirtieron asi en mascaras del propio

escritor, en las que se despersonalizo para dar forma, a traves de
sus multiples voces, a la amplitud y
complejidad de sus pensamientos, conocimientos, y percepciones de la vida y
el mundo.

El poeta es un
fingidor. Finge tan
completamente que hasta finge que es
dolor el dolor que en verdad

siente.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

In How Sweet to Live Alone, the Portable Poetry collection gathers a sample of Fernando Pessoa’s most innovative poems, characterized by vanguardism and multiple identities.

Along with Luis de Camoes, Fernando Pessoa is considered the most important poet in the Portuguese language and one of the most renowned in world literature. Alvaro de Campos, Ricardo Reis, and Alberto Caeiro are some of his heteronyms, true poetic personalities: complete characters with their own biographies and disparate literary styles. They thus became masks of the author himself, in which he could depersonalize through his multiple voices to give shape to the breadth and complexity of his thoughts, knowledge, and perceptions of life and death.

The poet is a pretender. He pretends so completely,

that he even pretends it’s pain,
the pain he really feels.
