Diogo Vaz Pinto’s poetry stands out by achieving the voice of a personal universe, and possesses a remarkable power to magnify not only individual but also generational memories which are full of meaning and emotion. Thanks to a language that grasps an intense transfiguring capacity, Diogo’s writing also manages a descriptive breath which, intertwined with narrative, acquires a magnetism and a resonance that are uncommon in most poetry of his generation.
