Work

Although included in some important anthologies such as Nothing the Sun Could Not Explain – 20 Contemporary Brazilian Poets [Los Angeles, 1997] and Meio-Dia - Alguna Poesía de Fortaleza [Bahía Blanca, Argentina, 2009], Vasconcelos except for a tiny booklet edited in 2010, entitled Mediterrâneo, never gathered his poems in a volume of his own, in despite of publishing extensively – poems, short stories, essays, reviews and translations – in magazines and literary journals through many countries, including the United States, Australia, France, Hungary, Portugal, Spain, Argentina, Chile, Peru and other Latin American countries. His work has been praised for its sense of formal rigour and minimalist style. He wrote essays on translation and translated from the major European languages with an emphasis on North-American poets from the so called Black Mountain School; Language Poetry; as well as the Objectivists. He has been also involved in the production of documentaries - as scriptwriter and director – that launched a new approach of poetic realism in Brazil, as can be seen in films such as As Vilas Volantes [The Drifting Villages, 2005] ; Uma Encruzilhada Aprazível [A Pleasant Crossroad, 2006] and Patrimônios & Achados: Desmontes [Heritage & Fidings: Razers, 2010].
