Fernando António Nogueira Pessoa (b. June 13, 1888 in Lisbon, Portugal — d. November 30, 1935 in the same city) was a poet and writer. The critic Harold Bloom referred to him in the book The Western Canon as the most representative poet of the twentieth century, along with Pablo Neruda. His biography suggests why his poetry is so mournful in tone, somber. One of the 20th century's greatest poets he sealed his reputation by drinking himself to death before the age of 50. No mean feat on a poet's wages.
