Writer, Poetess, Published Author

Denise Pereira started writing poetry when she was ten, having been fascinated by words and their musicality since an early age. In 2011, she began publishing her poems online in the blog Janela Inquieta. She holds a PhD in History, Philosophy and Heritage of Science and Technology by Universidade Nova de Lisboa. She started participating in Poetry Slam competitions since 2014, and in 2016, created a music-poetic performance called “Marioneta Inquieta” (The restless puppet), which was performed several times in Lisbon and in Berlin – the city where she is living since 2016. She is currently collaborating as an author in the literary on-line platform “Liberoamérica – Revista Iberoamericana de Literatura, Cultura e Igualdad”, for which she also contributed as an author and editor for the anthology of female poets, “Liberoamericanas – 60 poetas contemporâneas”. She is also a contributing author for the Portuguese online literary platform “A Bacana” and is currently working on her first poetry volume.
