Assoc for Scottish Literature“I wanted to honour <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Scots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Scots</a> in a dramatic, vocal context, just as [Edwin] Morgan did in his translations, & so I've tried to bring Pessoa to life in that new context – to embolden his characters, reimagining them a century later, dislocating them to a context more personal to me. Ultimately I tried to care for the poems as if they were my own.”—Colin Bramwell on FOWER PESSOAS, a reimagining of Fernando Pessoa’s poetry in Scots<a href="https://themadridreview.com/f/fower-pessoas-by-colin-bramwell---a-q-and-a-with-the-author" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://themadridreview.com/f/fower-pessoas-by-colin-bramwell---a-q-and-a-with-the-author</a><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Scottish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Scottish</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/literature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#literature</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/poetry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#poetry</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/translation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#translation</a>
