My favorite poet ever, yeah I do have one, comes from Spain and his name is Justo Jorge Padrón. He is wonderful! And a huge influence for any of my writing. This is an anthology from Tertúlia, Portuguese legendary publishers and it amounts to almost 1000 pages of poetry considering the important fact its bilingual. The Portuguese translation is impeccable. This poem I am showing is about poems and it’s called more than a son. There’s plenty of stuff by him in English too.

Nietzsche letters compiled in a Portuguese anthology named something like Spoils of a tragedy. In this letter to Paul Deussen in 1870 he speaks about Art’s consolation and the abyss that keeps on expanding between him and others. I wrote a song to my band Moonspell called Abysmo for our 3 rd album Sin that now celebrates 20 years.

Soviet era poster art álbuns. I bought a few at a market on my honeymoon in Moscow. They depict the anti capital propaganda and the Patriotic war (WW2 in Russian). I love Soviet and Russian aesthetics and of course their history and literature. And I visit often as Russia is one of my fave countries to be in.

After watching the though provoking documentary Cool it! this book became a must read and came today on the post. I am genuinely intrigued by the arguments of those who claim our world isn’t dying or devolving. Printed by @cambridgeuniversity Press, totals a fully printed 515 pages, the text comes on columns.

New arrivals today. I studied Derrida at the University but it’s a great time for a refresh. Besides, this edition is super fun and graphic and I will be buying more from this collection @iconbooks UK.

Amazing read. Maybe the best biography I ever read. A book about Max Perkins, Thomas Wolfe, Hemingway and Fitzgerald legendary editor (Scribners) by A. Scott Berg. Just a fascinating story about a no less fascinating gentleman.

And here’s the full book jacket. Dani filth did the foreword and it tops 400 pages! Have a great weekend

Me and my buddy Ricardo S. Amorim, the author of the biography Lobos que foram Homens ( something like Wolves that were Men in English) holding a copy in his hands. It’s a kickass paperback edition, with a great feel, appointments of varnish and small relief in the cover, logo and author’s photo. It reads very well and it also contains cool and embarrassing pics, facsimiles from the past. The best, though, is the text written by Ricardo. Published by Saida de Emergência in Portugal, an English and Spanish on the way for late 2018.

A Box of books. Portuguese editions of the terror Dan Simmons, a beautiful Fahrenheit 451 Ray Bradbury’s masterpiece, a couple of copies of Moonspell’s biography original Portuguese edition. Courtesy of Saida de Emergência publishers and of course my cat Lucio on a box
