He was born on 31 July 1873 in Porto, and died on 26 November 1929 in Guarda. Gil's literary works combined Symbolist verse with satire and simple lyricism, though his focus on nature and poverty as subjects also made him a precursor of Portuguese Neo-Realism.[1]
He wrote Balada da Neve, a well-known poem among Portuguese poets.
Gil has a section of the Museu de Garda dedicated to his life and works, in his home city of Guarda.[2]
