Aphorisms of a Restless Soul


Book Description

According to the dictionary aphorism is a terse saying embodying a universal truth, or astute observation, as “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely” However, my understanding of aphorism comes from Rubem Alves, a great chronicler, poet and writer from Brazil. Rubem Alves presented aphorism as the root of his marvelous writings. Therefore, inspired by Rubem Alves, aphorism became the best form to define my way of writings. I am sure that I would miss in any poetry contest and I would fail any poetry professional evaluation. I am not sure if I am a poet or not, but I am sure that I love to write the way I write. Perhaps, this is my great mistake, but I don´t stress to write poetry, I just let the words fill my mind and then I put them in a written form. What you will find in this book is the expression of my inner self.
