Gabriel Dall'Alba

About

As a poetry enthusiast, I describe myself through it, but never with the arrogance of thinking that my own words could fully define who I am.

That’s why I borrow the words of Elmar Carvalho, from one of the greatest works I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading, The Rose of General Winds:

(In)Definition

I am the one
who hesitates, absorbed
in the thresholds that permeate
and mediate what was
and what could have been.
I am the one who oscillates, perplexed,
between sleep and wakefulness,
inventing dreams never dreamt
and nightmares never invented.
I am the one
who sets fire
and dances upon the embers
and the ashes of chaos,
and dreams of not being
the being that is
and is not.


I am Brazilian, born in Caxias do Sul in 1997. I have italian blood, italian culture and brazilian culture. Graduated in Biological Sciences from the University of Caxias do Sul,
and Master in Genomic Sciences and Technology from the University of British Columbia.

I’ve been studying philosophy and poetry since 2014 and here, I intend to archive what I create through the at times organized union of words and thoughts.
My heart is half dead, but will live as long as we create poetry.
