| Summary: | Casimiro de Brito, poet, novelist, literary critic and essayist, born in Loulé (Algarve) in 1938, is linked to the turning point of Portuguese poetry that began in the 60s. In the spirit of freedom inherited from surrealism, his poetry becomes the place of exaltation of woman and erotic desire, expressed without any constrains. Love all life / Amar a vida inteira (2015) is a collection of poems in which the presence of the beloved woman brings about the fusion of poem and pleasure. This article is an attempt to shed light on the essentials of a poetry that moves away from the literary clichés of eroticism to draw the territory of exchange in a renewed dimension.
