Married for thirteen years and a father of two beautiful girls, I was born in the city of Petrópolis, RJ, Brazil, in January 1974. I hold an undergraduate degree in Biblical Studies and Theology (BA), a Master Degree in Church Administration and Leadership (MA), a Doctor Degree in Ministry (D.Min.) and actually pursuing a Doctorate in Philosophy. My work includes serving as a local clergyman and a seminary professor. I'm member of the Society of Christian Philosophers, member of the Sociedade Brasileira dos Poetas Aldravianistas, member of the Movimiento Poetas Del Mundo, member of the União Brasileira de Escritores and member of the Academia de Letras e Artes Lusófonas and affiliated with the Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention. By working in several countries, it gave me of a major cross-cultural experience. My theology is reformed and as a poet, I've a melancholic style following the pattern of the ultra-romantics of the XIX Century, as a humanist I'm characterized by the idea that man gets his true essence in the knowledge of God. I live in Lisbon with my family and have published books on spirituality, theology, philosophy and anthologies.
A number of years ago I learned to love poetry. I started with the simple curiosity of reading a couple of them and I fell in love. I started reading all kinds of poetry I could find and slowly I started to understand my taste for some styles and poets. Later I started writing my own poems and the first of them was “A Paixão”, that for some reason have not been translated yet in English, but it is a beautiful poem.
I see myself not as a genuine poet and I cannot find a proper word to define my style. I just let poetry to fill me up with its own beauty and I put it down on the paper. I try to follow the rules of a fitting poem, but some times it simply doesn’t work, but I still have the feeling that I should write it, and I do so.
Therefore I present to you with all my love and respect my English collection of poems. Hopefully you will enjoy it.
