I never considered myself a poet. I usually say my first "art" is novel-writing.
When I was 13, my best friend (G.M.) at the time was a brilliant poet and I wanted to be just like her... Ten years later, poetry became a way of « communication ». I don't talk a lot about my feelings, so it was a way of keeping them modest... Being part of an English speaking Writing Group (AG - which became a family within the years) helped me improve as my poetry is mainly (at 99,9% actually) in English.
Why not in French or even Portuguese ? Circumstances made it that way... ;-)
