On this major poet, born Funchal, 1930, considered by many
the greatest living Portuguese poet, see Nuno Júdice in
Machado, ed., Dicionário
de literatura portuguesa, p. 238:
“Desde os primeiros livros (O Amor em
Vista, 1958,
e A Colher na
Boca, 1961), a
poesia de Herberto Helder tornou–se um momento ímpar na
afirmação daquilo que, em Portugal, se pode considerar com
a mais conseguida realização do visionarismo poético
ocidental, que recebe a herança de Rimbaud e Lautréamont e
passa pelo surrealismo.” Américo Lindeza Diogo in
Biblos,
II, 973, states “. . . Helder é dos nossos poetas
contemporâneos o único que tem pingos de génio.”
