A lucid mind to his time


As a writer, José Régio was devoted to romance, theater, poetry and essay. Central in his work are the issues of conflict between God and Man, the individual and society. Carrying out a constant self-contained analysis and insight, his work is strongly marked by the psychologist tone and, simultaneously, by a mysticism which is shown in restless reasons as angelism or redemption in suffering.
His poetry of great lyrical and dramatic tension, often presents itself as a kind of dialogue between different levels of consciousness. The same psychological intensity, combined with a sense of social criticism, takes place in fiction.
