The Art and Poetry of Vasco R. A. Pires

A Fraction of Me: Prose and Poetry for the New Century is more than a book of poetry. It is an affirmation and appreciation of who I am as a human being. It is my hope that you, the reader will also appreciate and affirm who you are as a human being. This opened minded dialogue will bring about a better understanding and appreciation of our unique differences and how we can benefit because of our diversity.

We all show just a fraction of who we are on the surface, our physical appearence. In this book I share with you, what is below the surface of what I appear to be.

The first two chapters, reflect on my cultural perspective. I then reflect on the interactions of self and others, my love of the sea, other thoughts, childhood memories and finally, expressions of philosophy.
