Pessoa conceived Caeiro around 1914 and may have named him loosely after his friend, the poet Mário de Sá-Carneiro.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat followed was a collection of some of Fernando Pessoa's greatest poems, grouped under the titles \u003cem\u003eThe Keeper of Sheep\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Shepherd in Love\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eUncollected Poems\u003c\/em\u003e. This imaginary author was a shepherd who spent most of his life in the countryside, had almost no education, and was ignorant of most literature; yet he (Pessoa) wrote some of the most beautiful and profound poems in Portuguese literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis edition of \u003cem\u003eThe Complete Works of Alberto Caeiro\u003c\/em\u003e is based on the magnificent Portuguese Tinta-da-China edition, published in Lisbon in 2016. It contains an illuminating introduction by the Portuguese editors Jerónimo Pizarro and Patricio Ferrari, some facsimiles of the original Portuguese texts, and prose excerpts about Caeiro and his work written by Fernando Pessoa as well as his other heteronyms Álvaro de Campos and Ricardo Reis, and other fictitious authors such as Antonio Mora and I.
