Abstract:
In this paper, I attempt to give a reading of some poems by the great Portuguese poet, Fernando Pessoa, focusing in particular on the relation between thought and things or mind and world as it is figured in poetry. On this basis, I seek to develop a poetic ontology using certain insights of Heidegger's on language, interpretation and world. In the closing pages, I pursue this ontology through a reading of a key poem by Wallace Stevens.
