Literary career
Amaral's first volume of poetry, Minha Senhora de Quê (Mistress of What), was published in 1990. The collection's title alluded to Maria Teresa Horta's 1971 volume Minha Senhora de Mim (Milady of Me), thereby explicitly inscribing Amaral's work into the emergent genealogy of Portuguese women’s poetry. Since then, she has published ten further original collections of poetry and two volumes of collected poems, in addition to several translations (including poetry by Emily Dickinson and John Updike) and books for children.
Amaral's poetry has been translated into several languages and volumes of her writings have been published in France, Brazil, Italy, Sweden, Holland, Venezuela, Colombia and will soon be published in Mexico and in Germany. She is also represented in many Portuguese and international anthologies. Her work has been awarded several literary prizes, including Portugal's most important prize for poetry (the "Grande Prémio" of the Portuguese Writers' Association) in 2008, for her book Entre Dois Rios e Outras Noites, and the Italian Giuseppe Acerbi Prize in 2007.
