About

* 12.12.1951, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil
Vive en: Rio de Janeiro, Brasil

Paulo Henriques Britto was born on December 12, 1951 in Rio de Janeiro. He still lives in Rio and works as a poet, a translator for poetry and prose and as a professor for Literature, Literary Translation and Creative Writing at the Pontifícia Universidade Católica (PUC).

Already during his studies in the U.S., Britto started translating poems and song texts by Jim Morrison and Bob Dylan. Thanks to his translations of Thomas Pynchon, Lord Byron, Wallace Stevens, Elisabeth Bishop and others Britto is regarded as one of the most renowed translators of Brazil today.

His poems refer to the works of the authors of the 'Geração Mimeógrafo', who use colloquial language to propagate literary spontaneity and the focus on everyday life.
