Is pessoa as overlooked and underappreciated as he seems? I can't imagine many people know his work.

he is popular among the depressed, and teens who suffers from existential crisis

His translated poems by Ricardo Zenith and original English poems are still great.
Is it worth to learn Portuguese just for Pessoa?
