Botto's poetic voice-confessional, personal, and intimate-revels and luxuriates in eroticism while expressing the ache of longing, silence, and suffering. Yet for all of his acclaim and notoriety-he was both hailed as one of the great poets of his day and condemned for his frank depictions of male-male desire-Botto and his work fell into oblivion after Portuguese poetry20th centuryPortuguese poetry869.1/42Boto António1897-1959.321880Pessoa Fernando1888-1935.329680Blackmore Josiah1959-1500106MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910785311603321The songs of António Botto3726632UNINA
