Augusto de Campos
José Augusto Correia de Campos (born February 14, 1931 in São Paulo ) is a Brazilian poet, translator and music critic.
Life
Augusto de Campos studied law at the University of São Paulo and published his first volume of poetry O rei menos o reino in 1951 . In 1952 he founded the magazine Noigandres with Décio Pignatari and his brother Haroldo de Campos . The three were in the group of Brazilian writers who dealt with Concrete Poetry and took part in an exhibition on Concrete Art in the Museu de Arte Moderna de São Paulo in 1956 . He wrote several essays on concrete poetry. He incorporated the radically changing technical possibilities into his art from the 1980s onwards.
Campos translated authors such as Stéphane Mallarmé , James Joyce ( Finnegans Wake ), Ezra Pound ( The Cantos ), Wladimir Majakowski , Arnaut Daniel , Rainer Maria Rilke and EE Cummings into Portuguese. In 1979 he received the Prêmio Jabuti in the translation category for the collection of poems Verso, Reverso Controverso and was awarded the prize again in 1993.
He reassessed the works of Oswald de Andrade and Sousândrade and wrote as a music critic on contemporary music of the 20th century.
