Not satisfied with making poetry, he made poets as well, each with his own history and style. This book is thus one of the world’s great anthologies, like the Bible, a chorus in different voices and deserves to be read in that way.Here is Alberto Caeiro, the sage, who sees in things only the things themselves and announces, “All it takes to be complete is to exist.” And here is the sad and wise Ricardo Reis who counsels us to “Let’s love with greater calm / Our uncertain life”. These are Fernando Pessoa’s “heteronyms”, but here also is Fernando Pessoa himself, no slouch as a poet.My wife, whose name is Solitude,Keeps me from being glum.Ah, what good it does my heartTo have this non-existent home!If you are shopping for a volume of Fernando Pessoa in English, it is useful to know that this book (published by Penguin in 2006) and Fernando Pessoa & Co (published by Grove in 1999), are both translated by Richard Zenith, but contain almost totally different poems. If you love Pessoa, you’ll want them both but, if you can only buy one at a time, this volume seems to me the most essential. Frankly, how people manage to live their lives without these poems is a mystery to me. How did I get by before I read Pessoa? I can’t remember.For Pessoa’s prose -- most of all for selections from the diary of the assistant bookkeeper Bernardo Soares -- read Zenith’s Selected Prose. If you are a fan of Pessoa, it is thrilling to read Jose Saramago’s novel A Year in the Life of Ricardo Reis but, be warned, Saramago’s time-traveling stunt will change the way you read the poems forever. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Little known genius *by M***O on December 18, 2021* Extremely highly recommended Portuguese poet, one of the world's greatest of the 20th century hands down IMHO. Known for his "homonyms" or alternate identities (he had four principal ones), he could compose profoundly beautiful verse coming from the entirely different forms of consciousness which he adopted. His poems cover vast vistas of meaning and thought, impossible to sum up briefly. If you are a lover of poetry, you owe it to yourself to familiarize yourself with this stellar heavyweight (who attained littloe renown in his own lifetime but wrote voluminously). I place him in the rarified company of Neruda, Vallejo, Stevens, Mandelstam and other titans of 20th century poetical literature. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the finest writers, unnoticed *by A***Y on August 24, 2011* Pessoa is stunning. He probably belongs to the heavenly club of writers like Shakespeare & Nabokov. His sheer breadth & immense sensitivity is sufficient to inspire any ardent reader to pick up a pen and attempt writing. This book is a collection of some of his poems (written under 3 homonyms). Not all the poems are spectacular but the collections is sufficiently brilliant for the aesthetic soul. Buy this book for the love of the word & the singular opportunity to be in the presence of such a beautiful soul called Pessoa. ## Frequently Bought Together - A Little Larger Than the Entire Universe: Selected Poems - The Book of Disquiet: The Complete Edition - I Have More Souls Than One (Penguin Modern) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/12321306-a-little-larger-than-the-entire-universe-selected-poems](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/12321306-a-little-larger-than-the-entire-universe-selected-poems) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
