My sixth book - Diverse Poems Volume II

This book is a collection of poems from different moments of my life. One part of them is from the beginning of my writing career, between 2011 and 2015. Another part is from 2020.

The subjects of the poems are very diverse. I wrote about relationships, people's attitudes, news, and romance (I love you, Ana Carolina, my princess).

The poems from 2020 were strongly influenced by the moment, COVID-19 pandemic.

I wrote about the worst consequence of the pandemic, deaths. The poems Ten Thousand People and One Hundred Twenty Thousand tell about days when Brazil reached these terrible numbers. (Until today, February 20th, 2025, more than 715,000 have already died).

Besides that, I wrote about animal abandonment (Best friend), politics (The man of the division, Promises for life), and other subjects.

The book was published on April 23rd, 2021, in Portuguese, English, and Spanish.

Update April 04th, 2022

Continuing my revision to publish on other platforms, I updated this book. I removed some poems from the book. I made it because I understood these poems were not according to the book's purpose.

My fifth book - The path to peace

 

This book was the longest and most time-consuming project. My delay in publishing wasn't because of the complexity or extension of the book. I have been delayed because I stopped and left this book.

I wrote the first version of the book between 2018 and 2019. At that moment, I had no interest in publishing in Spanish and English. I just wanted to write and publish it in Portuguese.

I finished writing close to September 2019. I sent the book to my friend Anderson Camilo, and he made some considerations about it. I revised the book according to his considerations, but I didn't publish it yet. I kept the book stopped.

After some months, I made some publications on Amazon, and I got excited to publish this book. In April 2020, I reviewed the book and translated it to Spanish. Finally, I published it on Amazon.

After some more months, I'd translated all my books into English. Only this one was missing. I did it and published it. This translating marks a watershed in my writing career. After this book, I decided to write simultaneously in three languages. All books since that time have been published like this.

The book has been published on the following dates:

Portuguese and Spanish: September 20th, 2020

English: March 25th, 2021

Let's talk about the book. The story is about a rich man with a bad marriage, without respect and love. At one point, Charles is diagnosed with brain cancer.

He got desperate, without knowing what to do. For the first time in years, he got close to his family.

He got so desperate that he sought God's help. He was immature and didn't know anything about religion, God, or cure. He learns how things really work in the worst possible way.

If you want to know the entire path of Charles, read the book.

My third book - Poetry and Life (Life Through the Words)

The poems were written between 2019 and 2020. These were the first poems that I wrote after a long time without writing poems.

In the beginning, I didn't think to gather them in a book. I wrote the poems and sent them to some people on WhatsApp.

The subjects are very diverse. However, most of them are about personal life. About situations and solutions. About thoughts and feelings. I tried to express feelings and perceptions about things.

I had many good replies. People said the poems made them reflect and think about the subject. With this kind of reply, I was satisfied, my mission as a writer had been accomplished.

Some poems are about things I lived and learned. I poetically expressed my experiences to show other people there is something to learn in all situations. And the most important thing, God is with us all the time

The poems have some metrics. Most of them have five stanzas.  And all have long verses. They are like short poetic stories, with a beginning, middle and end. Some of them finish with a reflection or advice.

The book has been published on the following dates:

Portuguese and Spanish: April 04th, 2020

English: January 1st, 2021

Update April 10th, 2022

Continuing my revision to publish on other platforms, I updated this book. This time, I changed virtually everything. I changed the title, cover, and description.

Why did you do it?

To be sincere, I noticed the previous title "Poetry and Life" didn't make sense. The book wasn't a poetry book, it was a book with some reflections about life, and these reflections had a bit of poetry. Then, I decided to change the title for Life through the words.

Besides that, I removed some poems from the book. I made it because I understood these poems were not according to the book's purpose.

I hope these changes help to sell more.

Life through the words
