"Insist~tência", by the Brazilian poet THIAGO ALEXANDRE TONUSSI, follows his second book of poems, ?Ver s.o.s?. It contains verses written from 2006 to 2009.
These poems were born from, and together with, the solitary steps of an author reaching the necessity of finding its own questions, its own answer and its own way in the world. Therefore, some of the poems bring a taste of his philosophical questions. They also represent the poet searching for a freedom - from his language barriers - which comes accompanied by doubts and fears. Because, as the author says: ?The steps I take are the words I read?. These influences are many: Fernando Pessoa, Dostoievsky, Classical Greek Philosophy, Joao C de Melo Neto, Manuel Bandeira, Paulo Leminsky, among many others.
Thiago Alexandre Tonussi has a degree in Modern Language (Portuguese & Spanish) at Birkbeck ? University of London. He has lived in London since 2008. He has also lived in Brazil, Spain and Italy. Is married with Juliana C Mazzero Tonussi. And at the moment is working on his fourth book of poems.
