Biography

Beker Simon Fabian De Lao was born in Margos, in the district of Huanuco, Perú, on July 31^st of 1963. He spends his infancy on the Andes with his grandparents and brothers, speaking the local Quechuan language and learning Spanish at the primary school. At the age of 14 he becomes independent from his numerous family, which has already moved to Lima, working to complete his studies and beginning to travel through many provinces of Perú. To this period pertain his first poems.

Achieving his diploma in pedagogy and education, he dedicates himself to teaching in the area of the Amazonic border, valorizing local culture and innovating the outdated school programs, for eight years long. Because of the contrasts with Alberto Fujimori regime, he leaves teaching and begins touring all over South America, giving seminaries of oratory and taking part in international congresses of the Quechuan language.

In 1998 he arrives in Europe and settles in Italy, where he begins to dedicate himself to his first and true passion for poetry, deepening his studies and learning the Italian and English languages. In 1999, he becomes en integral part of the Peruvian community in the city of Ancona and is elected as vice-president for a period of 2 years. In this city, he meets the women of his life, Alice Bellesi, and they tie the knot: this experience deeply marks his life and his work, and 15 years later it will become the essence of a book. Together with his yearned muse he travels all over Europe: Italy, Spain, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Switzerland, Ireland, England, Wales, Scotland – and he continues traveling. These journeys are reflected and transfigured in his poetical work.

In 2011 his first book, a collection of poems entitled Eternal Wayfarer (Eterno Viandante), is published: he undertakes a tour of presentations which touches many Italian cities participating with this work to the international literary event Babele Festival, in the town of Montecosaro, filmed by local televison and present online. In 2012 he undertakes a tour of presentations of this book in Peru too, involving municipalities, libraries and schools.
In 2013 Elixir of Love (Elisir d’amore) is published, a book in poetry and poetical prose, co-authored with his wife, so he undertakes a tour of presentations in Italy. In 2014 this tour continues in Peru. In 2015 he records a no-profit audio version of this book for the Italian Union of Blind and Partially Sighted People and the Institute of Rehabilitation Research and Training (UIC and IRIFOR) of Macerata.
