What do you guys think of Fernando Pessoa's poetry?

I love this Portuguese nigga so much, bros.

Are there any other writers like him?

Vicente Guedes is literally me

The strangest thing happened last night. Fernando Pessoa, a great writer, visited my home. I had read "The Book of Disquiet" a few months prior.
He stood in the hallway, sort of shrouded in darkness. But I recognized the distinctive, wide-brimmed hat. He must have been sharply dressed!
I waved, but it seems like he darted-off as soon as I noticed him. I wonder what this means? Does my favorite author from beyond the grave like me?

Was he an incel?

Snownigger neopaganism is cringe. Read Fernando Pessoa, especially poetry by his heteronyms Alberto Caeiro, Ricardo Reis and Álvaro de Campo. The gods are there, we just don't hear them.

This. Pessoa almost certainly was schizoid. Also possibly Kafka.

is it even good or does it only have himself and the famous triad?

The best way to start dreaming is through books. Novels are especially helpful for the beginner. The first step is to learn to give in completely to your reading, to live totally with the characters of a novel. You’ll know you’re making progress when your own family and its troubles seem insipid and loathsome by comparison. It’s best to avoid reading literary novels, which tend to divert our attention to the formal structure.

I’m not ashamed to admit that this is how I started. Strangely enough, detective novels, are what I instinctively read. I was never able to read romantic novels in any sustained way, but this is for personal reasons, I being romantically disinclined even in my dreams. Let each man cultivate his particular inclination. Let us never forget that to dream is to explore ourselves.
