March 21st at 6:30 pm | Floor 0 of the FEUP Library

On the 21st of March at 6.30 pm, the FEUP Library will host the launch of the book Verbal Alquimia by Pedro Fardilha Barbeira, a Degree student in Informatics and Computing Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto. The session will take place on Floor 0 of the FEUP Library. Admission free.

About the work:

Verbal Alchemy is exploration. A plunge into the misty hidden depths of the heart. A dance, intimate and personal, with the Archetypes of Love and Truth, Pain and Reality, in the incessant search for the scattered shards of a pulverized heart. A reminder of the inherent innocence of Love. Of the beauty hidden in the torments and tribulations that the abandoned lover goes through. A rediscovery of the Self through the grief of Separation. An individual and solitary Journey through the catacombs of the Soul, heading towards the Inner Peace for which it yearns. It is a humble attempt to express the inexpressible through the twisted abstract webs of poetry.

About the author:

Pedro Barbeira, author of Verbal Alquimia, began his career in literature at an early age, voraciously devouring fiction and fantasy books. Poetry, an expression in which he explored the pre-adolescence heartaches, returned to his life after 15 years of abandonment, an exalted manifestation of the experience that gave fruit to his Work. Returning Computer Engineering student, with an unorthodox academic path, marked by a journey through the lands of Jazz for four years, where he unveiled his creativity, discovering the importance of sensitivity and touch, and developing a love of rhythm and melody, love that he freely explores and distorts in his writings.

Currently in the last year of the degree, he seeks to explore the multiplicity of who he is through spirituality, trying to manifest and transmit his visions through the twisted meanders of poetic verses that flow by themselves.
