Márcia Theóphilo was born in Fortaleza, Brazil. She
divides her time between Italy and her native country.
A poet and anthropologist, all her work is inspired by
the Amazon rainforest, its people, legends, flora and
fauna, and she has been deeply influenced by her father’s
and grandmother’s tales. Her work operates a
fusion between emotional and cultural memory, poetry
and documentation, archaic and contemporary
world, and she is committed to safeguarding the forest’s
natural and cultural heritage, and condemning
its destruction.
She published tales, essays and several poems, writing
both in Portuguese and Italian. Since 2008 she has been
a member of the World Poetry Academy and has been
nominated as a candidate for the Nobel Prize 2010.
