Together with his brother Augusto de Campos and Décio Pignatari, Haroldo de Campos (São Paulo, 1929-2003) founded in 1952 the "Grupo Noigandres," Brazil's concrete poetry movement. "Plano-Piloto Para Poesia Concreta," co-authored with Augusto de Campos and Décio Pignatari, appeared in number 4 (1958) of the concrete poetry review Noigandres. In 1992 he was awarded the Prêmio Jabuti as literary personality of the year; in 1999 he won the Prêmio Jabuti for poetry. Haroldo de Campos is considered the most baroque of the Brazilian concrete poets. His poetry is integrally linked to the movement. He was personally close to João Cabral de Melo Neto and Oswald de Andrade, and corresponded with Ezra Pound and Octávio Paz.Provenance: E[rnesto] M[anuel Geraldes] de Melo e Castro (b. 1932), textile engineer, poet, essayist and critic, was one of the leaders of the literary vanguard in Portugal during the second half of the twentieth century, especially during the 1960s.
