Its poems are marked by the musicalidade (constant use of aliteraes), for the individualism, for the sensualismo, to the times for the desperation, the times for the pacification, beyond an obsession for the white color.

Alfonso Enrique of the Guimares Coast, was born in Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais, in 24 of July of 1870 and died, in Mariana, the 15 of July of 1921.

Ouro Preto was the scene of the first years of the life of the Poet who since its infancy gave signals of extreme sensitivity and accented introversion.

However, the mstico tone ahead prints in its workmanship a feeling of acceptance and resignation of the proper life, of the sufferings and pains.
