Alberto de Lacerda (1928-2007)

I read that the poet Alberto de Lacerda has died. His poetry had many admirers: the obituary suggests that he might have been a candidate for the Nobel Prize. Seeing his photo with the obituary, I fel I must have seen him in galleries or at concerts. "His one-bedroom flat in Battersea became an extraordinary archive of his life and times but by depressing turns unvisitable, irreparable and eventually, by common standards, uninhabitable." (John McEwen)

Aos outros levarei a felicadade
Que a mim obscuramente foi negada.
