Following his subject's unique approach to composition, Colin Bramwell puts all four of Pessoa's heteronyms into a present-day Scots-language vernacular, and so creates a parochial Pessoa for our own times. Bramwell's adaptation matches his subject's restless lyricism. It is rare to see a translator go toe-to-toe with their subject in this way. The resulting entanglement makes for some astonishing, full-throated poetry. Readers will be delighted by this witty, emotive and artful reinterpretation of an indispensable European poet. Fower Pessoas not only celebrates Pessoa's extraordinary range of modes and moods, but also marks the arrival of an outstanding new talent in Scottish poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eColin Bramwell was born in Ayrshire, grew up in Fortrose on the Black Isle and lives in Edinburgh.
