Horácio Costa was born in 1954 in São Paulo, Brazil. He gained a PhD after studying at the University of São Paulo and the NYU in Yale and was then a professor at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México for fourteen years. As a translator he has translated Octavio Paz, José Gorostiza and Elizabeth Bishop into Portuguese. Horácio Costa has now returned to the USP and teaches Portuguese literature there. From 2006 to 2008 he chaired the ABEH (Associação Brasileira de Estudos da Homocultura).

Horácio Costa’s poems steer between poetry and prose and replies to the genre question with irony. In 2004 an anthology of his poems was edited by Haroldo de Campos.
