“…In this sense, it can be argued that Campos' poetry shares features with the poetry of silence of the last third of XX century in Spain, but his tone, his language and his influences undoubtedly approach him to the biggest names in XX century Portuguese poetry, which the poet knew very well. This study presents Campos’ intertextuality with Portuguese authors (Pessoa, Al Berto, Ruy Belo, Eugenio de Andrade, Carlos de Oliveira, Ramos Rosa, Sophia de Melo) as one of his composition keys, to which the author adds a very personal, intimate, lyric voice, a very precise language and a more and more refined style.…”

Voltaire by Leigh, J
