Preface

The poet is a faker / Who’s so good at his act /He even fakes the pain / Of pain he feels in fact. This is the first verse of the poem from the Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa, it's the light that brightens the path of any poet. The poet lives from the recesses of his soul, his pain, his loves, his memories, his entrances. From these, he draws inspiration from his verses, his letters, his rhyme, his music. What he now feels renews and rekindles in a poetic form what he has already felt, that’s why Pessoas’s concept of pretending is exemplary, to explain this time duplicity that surrounds the poet and incarnate in his poetry.

Amauri Queiroz’s poetry, in his book Egotrip, reflects and reinterprets, in the sensitive aspect, what he already lived, felt, and toured, shows his bequest and deeper cultural experience, his stories, his passions, his straights, and curved lines, advances, setbacks, and his life contours.

I met Amauri Queiroz in our beloved Mangueira’s samba court, on a festive Saturday, on a special day, The master Nelson Sargento’s 95-year birthday celebration. There we started an unstoppable conversation, it continued around ideas about new projects to develop, we built an affinity and an identity that has been increasing proximity that guides us to several different places to go through.

Introducing Amauri Queiroz and his poetry book is an honor because it means presenting an authentic and plural Brazilian, gifted with great capacity, creativity, and versatility in culture, politics, and education.

His African roots and his immersion around blackness and the black movement causes are one of his main bases of expression, an identity flag that has already taken him on tours throughout his country and other countries, in the four corners of the planet, Europe, North America, South, Asia, Africa. In official positions, political representations, performances, and experiences shaped his permanent struggle to try to make the world a better place, and make him a more attuned and complete person in understanding the complexity of this world.

Amauri lived and experienced a little of everything, expressing himself as a journalist, publicist, political activist, unionist, human rights agent, advisor to institutions and governments, educator, writer, cultural producer, and media content producer. He is a humanist thinker, engaged in principles and practices aimed at the transformation. And
