Daniel Jonas’s poetry is thematically encompassing and has a classical and, at times, visionary intertextual approach. Its language is incredibly rich, even baroque, and able to set lyrical sceneries for the most ironical profiles. He has followed a very singular path, definitely different from the most recent Portuguese poetry.
