"FRANCISCO JOSÉ ALONSO VELLOZO AZEVEDO was born in Rio de Janeiro, on February 23, 1951. He began writing in 1967, when he participated in a literary contest promoted by the OAS and met Francisco Assis Barbosa, who greatly encouraged him to continue writing. In 1969, in a short story contest, he wins first place, being awarded a trip to the United States, where he stays for five months. But what the poet considers really important at the beginning of his literary career was the award he received at the Festival da Poesia da Guanabara, at the João Caetano Theater, "because it was the time I had very close contact with the general public". He graduated from the Faculty of Law Cândido Mendes in 1973, joined the Instituto Rio Branco and began his diplomatic career. He goes to Brasília, where he launches the debut book CON TRA OS MOINHOS DE VENTO - a collection of poetry and chronicles

poetics written between 1975 and 1978. Opening the book, a letter from Anto nio Houaiss - historical and sincere testimony - born from the poet's first contacts with the master.

A CASA DOS ARCOS brings together texts-and experiences-from 1979 to 1983, when he lived in Washington, New York and Rio de Janeiro."
