Jorge Cândido Alves Rodrigues Telles Grilo Raposo de Abreu de Sena (2 November 1919 – 4 June 1978) was a Portuguese-born poet, critic, essayist, novelist, dramatist, translator and university professor[1] who spent the latter portion of his life in the United States.

He received his degree in civil engineering from the University of Porto, but published his first poems at age 18.

His interests were wide-ranging, including literature, intellectual history, politics, and other areas of the cultural spectrum.

He became a professor of literature in Brazil, which also afforded him the opportunity to complete his doctorate, and that was his profession in the U.S. until he died.
