a fellow student on the Letras Course. He was widely seen as the best student, and came first in the class at the end of his undergraduate course. I once shared a bus journey with him through Recife to the University - the campus is on the Varzea, about an hour from Boa Viagem, as he hand wrote 4 very shaky pages of titles and reading `musts` about the Didatura for me, very knowledgeable and kind. Since then he has been publishing, and promoting literature and poetry events in Recife, editing the UFPE Crispim journal, and the same in Paraiba where his family, who are also academics have been based. He had gone to California recently to do his PHD, but I see that much of his web presence - his long term blog Linguagem Guilhotina
and other material has disappeared, as I expect his publicity will now be less personal !
