<span style="font-size: 130%;"><strong>PROFILE</strong></span></div>
<br />
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Full name:</strong> Ana Esther Balbão Pithan</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Home town:</strong> Erechim, RS (Brazil)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Birthday:</strong> 21st March</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><span style="color: #000099; font-size: large;">This is the story of my life. I was born in Erechim, a small town in Rio Grande do Sul the southernmost State of Brazil. But at the age of 2 my family (mum and dad) moved to another small town, Caxias do Sul. At the age of 6 we moved on to Porto Alegre, the capital city, where we lived for a long time.</span><br />
<div align="justify">
<span style="color: #000099; font-size: large;">.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="color: #000099; font-size: large;">I grew up to be quite a good student and a book lover!!! I also used to love drawing and painting but found out my artistic talents were, hum… well, arguable. Later on I went to University to take a degree in Letters. Wow, during my Uni years I ‘created’ a long lasting friend, the Pelican (see The Pelican entry for details). When I graduated… I got totally lost! What shall I do now?</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="color: #000099; font-size: large;">.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="color: #000099; font-size: large;">So, I left my love for writing and drawing behind and plunged into the serious working world for years on end. I almost drowned were it not for the Pelican who rescued me back to life and enlightenment: I finally assumed my mission in life! I became a writer… who loves illustrating her own works. My childhood dream seems to be taking over. Such is the wisdom of ‘deep-inside’ intuition! </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">.</span><br />
<div align="justify">
<span style="color: #000099; font-size: large;">Nowadays, I live in Florianópolis (in the State of Santa Catarina, Brazil) but I’ve lived also in Passo Fundo (Rio Grande do Sul), in England (Bournemouth and Stratford-upon-Avon) and Australia (Sydney). So far I’ve got 10 books published, some stories in literary papers and on a literary site on the net and lots of wonderful characters!</span></div>

I'm ever so happy with this idea I just had: a Poetic Mission for 2015. Let me explain. It all started with a Season's Greetings phone call my mother (<strong>Elsa Balbão Pithan</strong>) got from a friend of hers, <strong>Sirlei Turcatto</strong> who said to her a poem as a New Year's surprise present... So far so good, the thing is that it was my mother's own poem</span></span><br />

<span style="color: purple; font-family: "inherit","serif"; font-size: 18pt;"><strong>02/Feb/2015: </strong>This time the meeting took place at a friend's place instead of at home and the big group was welcomed with much tenderness. As there were a lot of new participants I explained to them the main idea of the club. As an introduction, Eliana Chucste read the poem Desejo by Victor Hugo. Right after I read the story <em>Verano em Cañas</em> by Brazilian writer <strong>Sérgio da Costa Ramos</strong> [from the book he wrote with <strong>Flávio José Cardozo</strong>: <strong>Duas Violas Arteiras</strong>]. Everybody liked the meeting and they all agreed to call it as my mother had suggested: </span></div>

It was the first time the launching of its anthology took place in another city! ACPCC was invited by poet <strong>Rita Padoin</strong> to celebrate this moment in <strong>Urussanga</strong> (SC). Even though I was not able to be there I share their joy because there are three of my texts in the anthology! It's a great honour this invitation and I'm very thankful .</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>09/10/2014 - </strong>It took years and years for the <strong>Reading Club</strong> become reality... and now here we are having such great fun with its first meeting ever!!! My mother and I took turns explaining the dinamics of our activities: we would first read a short story or article for further comment by the participants. So, I read a story by the late local author <strong>Jair Francisco Hamms</strong>, <strong><em>Viagem a Lugares Comuns</em></strong>, as the very first work for discussion. After the reading, everybody got excited to discuss the text and its all-creative language full of funny expressions and sayings. People just loved the idea of this kind of Reading Club and were already looking forward to the next meeting. There was a coffe-break when poet <strong>Milka Plaza</strong> read a poem from her book <em><strong>Ao Som do Mar</strong></em> which she gave to my mother as a presente. A perfect start for the expected club, may it have a long life!</span></span> </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;"><strong>January 16th</strong> = I'm very glad to have organized this unique literary meeting at <strong>Cristina's Ice Cream Place</strong> in <strong>Balneário Atlântico</strong> (a small beach in Rio Grande do Sul State). A group of enthousiastic book lovers gathered to talk about their reading tastes whilst tasting Cristina's ice cream. It turned out to be a delicious afternoon! A surprise guest also made all the difference, the poet <strong>Joaquim Moncks</strong> and his friend Nina have showed up and talked about their careers as poets. For me it was an extra emotion: I had a poem of mine published in praise of Joaquim Moncks (Joaquim Moncks & Amigos) but we had never met before, we knew each other only via e-mail! So, now was a sensational way to celebrate our meeting. He gave me a special treat by Reading out my poem <strong>Temor</strong> to the audience -just awesome! And then everybody spoke about the books they were reading, their likes and dislikes... In the end I gave to our hostess Cristina a copy of the JM&Friends anthology as a way of saying thanks for having us there!</span></span></div>
