A journalist and the author of literary works that have often been translated and awarded prizes, specifically the Camões Prize, Manuel António Pina will forever remain in the memory of his readers as one of the great poets of his generation.
In this moment of mourning for Portuguese culture, I render my sincere tribute to the writer and man of letters who has just departed from us.
