Paulo Bomfim lived with Anita Malfli, who painted her face in 1946, to the cover of her first book, Antonio Sad, with foreword by Guilherme de Almeida. Mário de Andrade participated in his home at Vila Buarque when he was a boy and saw him once, six years old, go with his mother through the old tea -Viaduct, whose floor was wood, joking and said, “We will need you to deliver letters to the soldiers in the constitutional battle.” Paulo says he was euphoric with the invitation and began to tread his tricycle intensely. “I thought it would make me strong to start delivering.” A few years later Mario went to a New Year’s Eve – new family and everything seemed a little discouraged. “That’s when he pulled a cord at the room, aunt in front and I children at the end of the line and we were all happy at the end.” Another thing the poet said not to forget was the day Mario de Andrede died. “The awaken happened in his house, on Lopes Chaves and Leonor Aguiar Street, a very intelligent woman who explained Russian, came in a clothes and as she approached the coffin decided to change. He took the dress, combined in front of the dead and everyone present and put another without the slightest ceremony.”
He studied at the traditional Rio Branco College and one of his classroom colleagues, during the first year of the former primary course, was businessman Antonio Ermírio de Moraes. The first teacher of the two was donated soled as they had a lot of affection and with whom they kept a loving contact that extended the rest of her life. Sometimes, already adults, they sent loving little notes to the teacher who on a certain day asked them to attend their home. The two over there were and worried thought it was a health problem and thought that the former champion needed help, but for the surprise it was not good. She accused the attention of Paulo Bomfim and Antonio Ermírio for the “sloppy” way when they wrote and left and said: “I have read the tickets you send me and I realize that your texts get worse.
In childhood, Paulo Bomfim participated in Vila Buarque Children’s Library where he got a taste to write and there he became a poet, but he is not sure why. “Poetry came to me and not me,” he says. In your first book wrote, “… I remembered a balloon like multicolus, multicolus, seen in The firmament, it is not known where it came from, it is not known where it was, it was not old, it was no boy, I was not old, … Antonio.”
Since it is not only living in poetry, Paulo Bomfim became a journalist, who stood out of the 1950s, in the diaries and associated broadcasters, by businessman Francisco de Assis Chateaubriand, Chatô. On TV, Tupi presented “Mappin Movietone”, a news that preceded the format of Jornal Nacional. There was another program, “University on TV”, which was broadcast on TV Cultura that belonged to the members. The poet has for several years published a weekly chronicles in “Diary of São Paulo” and then moved to Correio Paulisto and Diário de Notícias and now signs a column in the forensic newspaper “Tribuna do Law”, and thus remain active. From these publications, historian Ana Maria Martins removed the chronicles that make up the new book. In it, in its poetic sensitivity, bombfim tries to say about his love for the city of São Paulo who explains that, “Sao Paulo’s body was formed by the blood and the flesh of João Ramalho and Bartira, daughter of Tibiriçá. The idea is by Manuel da Nóbrega, but the soul is by José de Anchieta. The government came from Santo André, the village of relatives of João Ramalho.”
