Virgilio Goncalves has a nomadic bent. He blames his parents. Both Portuguese, they migrated to South Africa, where Virgilio was born. Thirty years ago, he and his family emigrated to Australia. He lives with his wife, Lesley, in Aldinga Beach. Their two sons, Kyle and Ross, also live in South Australia. Virgilio has worked as a journalist, lecturer, ESL teacher and, more recently, as a tennis coach. Now he fiddles with words - just for the love of it. He has self-published three books, including two novels. He also writes short stories and is a member of the Ochre Coast Poets group. This is his first book of poetry. Virgilio, as with other fellow nomads, will forever be restless. That's because his goal in life is to rid the world of misery.
