Guy Debord
Guy Ernest Debord was a French theorist, writer, filmmaker, hypergraphist and founding member of the groups Lettrist International and Situationist International. In broad terms, Debord's theories attempted to account for the spiritually debilitating modernization of the private and public spheres of everyday life by economic forces during the post-WWII modernization of Europe.

Jorge Sousa Braga
Licenciado em Medicina, nasceu em Vila Verde, Braga em 1957. Exerce a especialidade de Obstetrícia num hospital do Porto. A sua obra poética tem vindo a revelar-se de uma criatividade notável, sendo notório desde o primeiro livro De Manhã Vamos Todos Acordar Com Uma Pérola No Cu, de 1981, uma abordagem da temática dos Descobrimentos e da portugalidade sempre tomada pelo lado irónico e surrealista, com ressonâncias do movimento Beat, de São Francisco. A sensualidade - e a sexualidade, - em poemas íntimos e por vezes extremos bem como a sua paixão pela poesia oriental têm-no levado a escrever haikus em língua portuguesa com assinalável perfeição.
