looking back

"Looking Back" is a selection of poetic writings between the summers of 2007 and 2012. They are arranged chronologically backwards, starting with the most recent and ending with the oldest. The format of the book reflects the context in which they were written: most of these writings were first jotted down in a pocket moleskine which was used from right to left, to accommodate my being left-handed. This collection of poetry is dedicated to Miguel Monteiro Sena, for inspiring me to keep writing by teaching me once that “in a world where everything moves so fast, the ability to sometimes stop and leave everything behind for a few seconds should be praised.” These poems were written in such brief moments when I left everything behind. NOTE: The price reflects printing costs only, the author makes no profit from sales.
