He deserves the XXII Reina Sofía Iberoamerican Poetry Award, he is the Portuguese-language poet with the greatest international projection.
On the website of this award you can read that "one of the most important Portuguese poets emerged after the Poetry 61 group is considered. According to the poet Ángel Crespo, a Spanish translator of his work, the poetry of Júdice« has managed to integrate the linguistic conquests of the avant-garde of the 50s and 60s in a textuality that avoids the fragmentation of the poem and is, on the contrary, oriented towards a mysteriously epiliric story ".
Have many other relevant prizes.
In an interview last year I declare that: "For me a poem has to say something and here I include a memory, a daily episode or a mythical story. The narrative need comes from the luck of having told a grandmother who told me traditional stories In Portugal, the peasant culture is very important and that's where my interest in orality comes from. My poems are not only to be read, but also to be heard. "
"Poetry names things that run the risk of being lost."
The Spanish reader can approach his work through the following books: A song in the thicket of time (Calambur, 1996), Anthology (Visor, 2003), General theory of knowledge (Trilce, 2005), You, whom I call love (Hyperion, 2008), Devastation of syllables (University of Salamanca, 2013), The order of things (Pre-Texts, 2014), Navigation without direction (Regional Editor of Extremadura, 2014), The fruit of grammar (Valparaíso , 2015) and Implosion (Letour, 2017).
