possible pessoa

In Fascicle, a translation by Chris Daniels of C. Pacheco’s “Beyond Another Ocean”. The poem, from 1917, dedicated to Pessoa’s heteronym Alberto Caeiro; in an interview with Kent Johnson in Jacket, Daniels suggests that Pessoa is the author.

(Interestingly: all of Pessoa went into the public domain on 1 January 2006. Also: the Pessoa entry in the wikipedia is shockingly good.)

(Also in the current issue of Jacket: a couple of pieces on Gilbert Sorrentino.)
