Five Coimbra Poets takes historical contingency—the accident—as a pretext that would seem to unify profoundly different poetical voices from diverse centuries. Its chronological range is ample, starting in late medieval Portugal with Dom Dinis and ending with Fernando Assis Pacheco in the last half of the 20th century. To this historical contingency a contingency of choices is added—an accident of choices. A dual opportunity, a dual purpose: firstly, to bring together certain poets who were either born or lived in Coimbra and who were touched in a way—more or less asymmetrically, more or less explicitly—by the city, by the surrounding countryside and the region; secondly, to offer up poets and poems, some more canonical than others, whose occasion here reflects a personal and subjective choice that is tailored towards both initiation and concision. Dom Dinis and Sá de Miranda are joined by the two 19th century poets who most marked the memory of literature which the city keeps alive and which the poems themselves keep alive of the city. Both Antero de Quental and Camilo Pessanha are, in this sense, crucial. The lyrical intensity of landscape and cityscape is alive as well in Fernando Assis Pacheco, who perhaps wrote the most penetrating and moving poems about Coimbra and its worlds, which were those of his childhood, adolescence and early manhood.
Kintuadi is the connectivity, interactivity, communion and total oneness between Creator, Man and all its creation, the universe. God is supreme Love, eternal Patience and Timeless. He is the same today as he was yesterday. He is the same today as he will be tomorrow. His permanence and persistence is to ensure that a special envoy and messenger is sent for each generation. The great revelation is that before and after Christ, messengers with the same mission have come and gone. Now the big question is who are the messengers of our modern time? Who is the special messenger for this 21st century? If we do identify him, this special messenger has the same mission and is the re-incarnation of all his predecessors from Adamus to Simon Kimbangu of 1921.

Por el mismo motivo que lo hice respecto a "El Apocalipsis de Los Pueblos - Corrupción, Demagogia, Miseria y Emigración", siento que debo alertar a mis lectores más apegados a los formulismos académicos que, esta modesta obra, está básicamente concebida para llegar a los pueblos emergentes. Esa humanidad libre de pensamiento y acción que en todas las épocas ha constituido la incontenible fuerza de propulsión del positivo desarrollo de la sociedad humana. Santo Antonio de Padua, ese discípulo de San Francisco de Asís nacido en Lisboa, cuando los tan corruptos como soberbios paduanos rechazaron escuchar su sermón, no dudó llevarlo a los peces que, según la leyenda del milagro, acudieron a la playa a escucharlo. Es, pues, con el ejemplo de su persistencia, que decidí ampliarles mi visión de la libertad y la justicia como indiscutibles atributos de Dios.
