The Arts Club of Washington Poetry Club

on Wednesday, October 22 nd , 2025, 5:30 pm

will meet to discuss selected Sonnets and the life of the

Portuguese Poet and translator

Fernando António Nogueira de Seabra Pessoa

A pluralist who created many heteronyms and filled their world

with details that only a perfectionist could appreciate. He was a

brilliant author and a complex person who has left a literary

legacy that is still being studied and unfolded.

Come join the journey to understand.

I'm nothing.

I'll always be nothing.

I can't want to be something.

But I have in me all the dreams of the world.

Opening lines from “The Tobacco Shop” 1928


$10 Includes wine reception
