We often find the poem set against the world in Miguel Martins’ work. As if we were witnessing an acidic autobiography being spat in the face of days. Nevertheless, this gesture of obstinate hostility allows itself to be interspersed by straight forward, captivating, sexual gentleness. His is not an ambivalent voice but a sure one which has no qualms about making itself heard.
