ALEXANDRE BARBOSA DE SOUZA

A POET, THINKER, INTELLECTUAL. I HAD A WONDERFUL AFTERNOON WALKING AND TALKING WITH ALEXANDRE. HE HAS DONE A LOT IN BRAZIL AND CUBA AND HE CONTINUALLY WRITES. A COMPILATION FROM MOST OF HIS WORKS WILL BE OUT LATER THIS YEAR. IT WAS A TREAT TO DISCUSS HIS PROCESS AS A POET AND COMPARE IT TO MY PROCESS AS A VISUAL ARTIST. HE'S A FATHER AND A HUSBAND AAAAAND HE IS A PROLIFIC TRANSLATOR. PATTY SMITH'S BIO, MOBY DICK AND MORE, WAY MORE I JUST CAN'T REMEMBER. HE TRANSLATED MOBY DICK!!!! WE DRANK BEERS. YES WE DID.
