The pain Antonio Cabral felt
for the loss of his loved ones
could not be negated
by a latent dependency on
opiates and liquor;
Amid the dank squalor
and vicissitudes of an ascetic refuge
in the doldrums of a nameless
friendless city he finally
confronted the phantasms of
his ineluctable failings and
was reconciled to them.
A fascinating,”poetry noir” creation focussing on the theme of reconcilement in the life of the Portuguese poet Cabral.
