Henriqueta Lisboa (Lambari, 15 July 1901– Belo Horizonte, 5 October 1985) was a Brazilian poet and professor. She was awarded the Prêmio Machado de Assis for her lifetime achievement by the Brazilian Academy of Letters.[1] She is famous for her well-chosen words to create powerful poems. Her early lyrics deal with traditional poetic themes, while her later poems like Echo, she mysteriously magnifies the effect of a single image.
Lisboa taught literary history at the School of Biblioteconomy of the Federal University of Minas Gerais as well as Hispano-American and Brazilian literature at the Faculty of Philosophy, Sciences and Letters Santa Maria, now part of the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais.[2]
Her works were read by Mario de Andrade, Manuel Bandeira, Carlos Drummond de Andrade, Cecilia Meireles, and Gabriela Mistral. Several of her poems were translated into other languages: English, French, Spanish, Latin and German. Some of them below:
- The echo– translated by Blanca Lobo Filho
- Ein Dichter war im Krieg– translated by Blanca Lobo Filho
- Palmier des plages– translated by Véra Conradt
