António Ramos Rosa

António Ramos Rosa was born in Faro on 17 October 1924. He could not finish his secondary education for health reasons and worked as an office clerk. A militant of the Movimento de Unidade Democrática, he was imprisoned for political reasons. In the 1950s he founded or co-edited three magazines, Árvore, Cassiopeia and the Cadernos do Meio-Dia, made his living from translation, mainly from French, and from teaching, and published his first book in 1958. His poetic work runs to more than fifty titles; an essayist, anthologist and draughtsman, he received the Pessoa Prize in 1988 and died on 23 September 2013.
