Augusto dos Anjos (1884-1914) é um dos mais originais poetas brasileiros, e também um dos mais populares. Sua obra consiste, porém, em apenas um livro. "Eu" foi publicado ainda em vida do autor; outros poemas, publicados em periódicos ou inéditos, foram coligidos após sua morte e acrescentados ao volume organizado pelo autor, renomeado então "Eu e Outras Poesias". Aclamada pelo público e pela crítica, sua obra foi repudiada por muitos em sua época, e ainda causa estranheza, pela mistura de vocabulário coloquial e científico, pelos temas exacerbadamente macabros e pessimistas, pelo exagero sistemáticos na linguagem e no tratamento dos temas.

The House of Dust is a poem written in the four-movement format of a classical symphony. Hauntingly beautiful despite its bleak post-World War I depictions of human mortality and loss, the poem develops its movements around central images such as Japanese ukiyo-e ("floating world") woodblock prints, touching the reader's senses with endlessly evocative allusions to wind, sea, and weather. In this underlying Japanese sensibility and dependence on central perceptual images, Aiken's poem is similar to poetry of Imagists of the time such as Amy Lowell. Also deeply influenced by the concepts of modern psychology, Aiken delved deeply into individual human identity and emotion.
