Has Mário de Sá-Carneiro been translated?
Really underappreciated guy, Pessoa's more depressed and (successfully) suicidal best friend.

I think sometimes about translating some more or less obscure Portuguese-language poets into english. I'd probably just post them on a blog somewhere. It's a little less exposure to put translations up online for everyone to see, rather than my own poetry, which I've only shown close friends and family so far, and my therapist.

Ferreira Gullar was one of my favorite living poets until he died last year. Some of his stuff has been translated:

Lesson

Even as you once were open to happiness
open up now to suffering
its fruit
and ardent counterpart.

Even as
you went to the heart
of happiness
lost yourself in it
and in that loss
found yourself
now let sorrow do its work
without lies
without excuses
evaporating in your flesh
every illusion
for life only consumes
what sustains it.

After exploring a lot of English and French lit in their original, and some German lit in translation, I came to the conclusion that Portuguese-language literature really is very good. Growing up I rejected it, because I resented living in what felt like an underdeveloped shithole, but literature and music are the redeeming aspects of Brazilian culture, and Portuguese literature is unbelievably rich.
Not only the modernists like Lispector and Pessoa which /lit/ is tired of hearing about, but also previous authors like Augusto dos Anjos, Padre Antônio Vieira, Cesário Verde, Camões, Machado de Assis, Eça de Queiroz, Gil Vicente, Lima Barreto, Bocage, Cruz e Souza, Álvares de Azevedo, etc are on par with the world-renown masters of their respective periods.

The Essentials are basically:
Camões, Pessoa, Padre Vieira, Machado de Assis, Guimarães Rosa, Carlos Drummond de Andrade and Eça de Queiroz

The Greats:
João Cabral de Melo Neto, Saramago, Bruno Tolentino, Clarice Lispector, Euclides da Cunha, Bocage and Mario de Andrade

The Goods:
Mia Couto, Lima Barreto, Álvares de Azevedo, Hugo de Carvalho Ramos, Murilo Rubião

The Decents:
Jorge Amado, Moarcy Scliar, Coelho Neto
