Ruy Belo, who died in 1978, published eleven collections of poetry, four collections of critical writings, and numerous translations of writers such as Jorge Luis Borges, Blaise Cendrars, Garcia Lorca, and Saint-Exupery. His work has appeared in over thirty anthologies in Portugal, as well as in collections published in France, Spain, Italy, Serbia, Germany, Sweden, Latvia, Bulgaria, Holland, Mexico, and, of course, Brazil. Some of my recent translations of his work have appeared in or are about to appear in American Poetry Review, Catamaran, Delos, International Poetry Review, Metamorphoses, New Letters, Osiris, Per Contra, Plume, Rosebud, and Saranac Review.
