This book of poems appeared the very year the author was forced into exile by the regime of António de Oliveira Salazar.One of the leading voices of the second generation of Portuguese Modernism, Adolfo Casais Monteiro (Porto 1908-São Paulo 1972) was a poet, literary critic and educator. Monteiro, Leonardo Coimbra and Sant'Ana Dionísio formed the editorial board of Águia in the late 1920s. He was an early and frequent contributor to the review Presença, and beginning with number 33, he joined José Régio and João Gaspar Simões in its direction. Monteiro was actively opposed to the Salazar regime, and was forced into exile in 1954. He spent the rest of his life in Brazil. Monteiro, Luís de Montalvor, and João Gaspar Simões, were among the few who appreciated Fernando Pessoa during Pessoa's lifetime. Monteiro was influential in promoting Pessoa's reputation after Pessoa's death.
