Lugar Incerto, Momentos de Poesia

In the end of 2020 "Lugar Incerto, Momentos de Poesia", my poetry book, was published. Some time after, it became part of the Portuguese National Library.

At a very young age I was exposed to several names in Portuguese literature: Florbela Espanca, Fernando Pessoa (Ricardo Reis, Alberto Caeiro), Mário de Sá-Carneiro, among others... I immediately fell in love with poetry and used my writing as a way to release emotions and minimize pain. Writing helped me to go a little deeper on myself, it gave me the opportunity to know myself a little better giving me an overview of my emotions and feelings; deep down it was an integral part of my mental sanity.

Writing has given me an opportunity to free myself and at the same time has helped me to develop myself without being afraid of my own intimacy with me and with the feelings I am sharing in this book.

Thank you for showing interest.

Sinopse

Esta Obra é parte de um caminho de quem se teve de perder várias vezes para se encontrar. ‘Lugar Incerto, Momentos de Poesia’ pretende contribuir para o enriquecimento da arte poética, porque há magia em palavras e em quem as profere, porque a palavra imortaliza a ideia, porque os sentimentos são para partilhar, porque cada um de nós dá a sua contribuição para a humanidade, porque…

Sou ponto de interrogação incompleto e louco

em busca do seu ponto final;

fragmento de molécula perdida

que se formou sem saber porquê...

Sou a vida a esmorecer-se a pouco e pouco

bem longe do seu ideal;

olhar de criança iludida

sem saber o que vê...
