Ruy Cinatti Books

Ruy Cinatti was a poet whose early work, Ossobo (1936), masterfully captured the ephemeral and fleeting in rigorous poetry full of sonority and rhythm. His spiritual adventure is inextricably linked to nature, the primary source of his imaginary life. Cinatti systematically explored his convictions, grappling with doubts and uncertainties, yet his work consistently reflected a renewed fidelity to the hope of human redemption through faith and love. He is recognized as a unique figure in 20th-century Portuguese literature for his imagination intertwined with reality, and his adventurous genius, a blend of action and mysticism, forged a remarkable body of work with a novel tone and seemingly simple rhythm.
