Fower Pessoas is the most original work of translation that you will read this year: a bold reimagining of Fernando Pessoa' s poetry by an exciting next-generation Scottish poet. Following his subject' s unique approach to composition, Colin Bramwell puts all four of Pessoa' s heteronyms into a present-day Scots-language vernacular, and so creates a parochial Pessoa for our own times. Bramwell' s adaptation matches his subject' s restless lyricism. It is rare to see a translator go toe-to-toe with their subject in this way. The resulting entanglement makes for some astonishing, full-throated poetry. Readers will be delighted by this witty, emotive and artful reinterpretation of an indispensable European poet. Fower Pessoas not only celebrates Pessoa' s extraordinary range of modes and moods, but also marks the arrival of an outstanding new talent in Scottish poetry.
