Bio and work

Born in Lourenço Marques, now Maputo, on 9 August 1949, he lived in Mozambique until 1975. He had published ten books of poetry. A large selection of that corpus of poems was collected in Desobediência, 2011. It is represented in several anthologies of contemporary Portuguese poetry. A significant number of his essays and critical writings have been collected in six volumes. With his trilogy of short-stories Persona, 2000, his writing underwent a tectonic movement. One of these stories, Kalahari, was translated by Alison Aiken and published in Chroma, a Queer Literary Journal, from London. In 2013 published a memoir, Um Rapaz a Arder. His poetry and prose have appeared in various magazines and anthologies in Portugal, Spain, France, Brasil, Colombia, England, Israel, USA and, in his early years (1968–1975), in Mozambique. In addition to the short story The Stratagem, published in the collective volume, has published several short stories in the magazine Egoísta. He did literary criticism in the magazines Colóquio-Letras (1987–2018), LER (1990–2006) and Sábado (2011–2022), as well as in the newspapers Diário de Notícias (1996–1998) and Público (2005–2011). Between 1994 and 2006, he was the author of the poetry criticism section O Som & o Sentido for the magazine LER. In the same magazine, between 2008 and 2014, he published chronicles in the column Heterodoxias.

Pitta was legally married in 2010 with Jorge Neves, his partner since 1972.
