It
would be pretentious of my part entitling me "visual poet," in view
of my scarce literary production and my incidental participation in this genre
of poetry. So, I may sum up my answer to the questions saying that the ambiance
in which I experienced poetry was always that of the concrete and visual poetry,
in face of my profound relationship with their main protagonists
in Brazil. In that context, the visual forms which appear in poems like "entre
mel corpo" and "ave eva" emerged spontaneously from the syntactic
liberation of words, and seem to enrich the texts by admitting different readings.
On the other side, in my poems, the manuscript, personal writing conveys at
the same time that spontaneity and my unpretentiousness, when these attitudes
achieved new approaches.
