João Luís Barreto Guimarães
(b. 1967)
'João Luís Barreto Guimarães is a poet who claims for himself an ethnographer’s image. There is an idea of urbanity in his poetry - both metropolitan and peripheral - and an idea of everyday life - his daily life as a doctor peeks out of each line in the manner of William Carlos Williams. His are ways that inflict on the ‘common places’ a disconcerting lyrical sabotage (which is also ironical) that has no parallel in the most recent Portuguese poetry.'
João Luís Barreto Guimarães is a plastic surgeon and lives in Leça da Palmeira, north of Porto.
