Embora Eu Seja um Velho Errante

After editing several of his volumes of verse, a biographer brought out in 2011 an exhaustive life of Tiago Veiga, a poet of Pessoa's generation who had known Yeats and Cocteau but chose, against all expectation, to bury himself in the Alto Minho with Ellen Rassmunsen, the Irish painter he had married. Since then fresh documents have come to light, chief among them a striking journal Ellen kept at the sanatorium in Caramulo, which she had visited to take pictures of those being treated there before falling ill herself. These discoveries prompt a three-part book that rounds off the biographer's long account of Veiga.
