The Poetry Trail

Angelo Asson, Fabrizio Pereira de Araújo

Born in São Paulo, Angelo Asson has been a writer and designer for over twenty years. He collaborated with some of the biggest publishers in Brazil. As he works in both fields he produces his books independently, taking part in all stages, from elaboration of the graphic project to its printing and publishing in online stores.
His most recent launch is the book "Transbordamento - A palavra como companheira", where he assembles his writings of 2020. They are poetries and chronicles that reflect the social isolation period which we were submitted to due to the pandemic of the new corona virus. The book's production is artisanal and is a metaphor of the 290 days of confinement of the author.
Angelo also edits the magazine "13 dicas de escrita criativa", directed to new writers, with the purpose of helping them structure a narrative and create their characters, as well as address other topics such as crowd funding, the creation of the author's image and the qualification of his work.
Attentive observer of people and their behaviors, he is the author of the poetry book "Coisas da vida... minha", which addresses feelings and emotions in a way that touches the reader. The book was released in the Literary Fair of Americana (SP) and was present in FLIP (International Literary Fair of Paraty) 2018.
Impassioned by Cordel Literature, he created the series "Folhetos Paulistas", which brings not only cordel literature, but also poetry, tales, chronicles, in the same format of the booklets of Portuguese origin. It's a homage and an opportunity to spread the style, adapting the texts to the daily life of people who live in a megalopolis such as the city of São Paulo.
Another project is the magazina "Divagando em Vagão - Crônicas sobre Trilhos", which shows, through his daily observations, the daily life of the subway and its users, in light and fun texts.
