Paulo da Costa Domingos is a self-taught writer, publisher, and book antiquarian. He started publishing poetry at the age of 19, still during the Portuguese dictatorship, and has published over fifty volumes, remarkable among which are his poetic anthology Urbe Sub Rosa – Carmes 1972-2021 (Barco Bêbado, 2022). His prose was published as Narrativa ([Narrative] Alambique, 2016) and A Morte dos Outros – Pastiches & Visões ([The Death of Others – Pastiches and Visions] Alambique, 2023). Domingos is further known as the publisher of the publishing house Frenesi, a house where – self-taught and son of a cartographic draftsman – he has turned graphic arts into an unyielding vortex amidst the aesthetic mud pulsating in commercial bookshelves. The graphic design of the catalogue of the publishing house Barco Bêbado is his most recent litmus test of half a century of acquired skills.
