"Te amo mecanicamente" (I love you mechanically) is the title of Marco Lole de Andrade's debut book, the second edition of which, under the auspices of the Clube do Livro da Beira, will be presented on June 27 at the Centro Cultural Português da Beira.

The presentation will be given by Alberto Zimata Mapime, with comments by Diodino Fonseca, who prefaces the book.

It is a collection of poems in which the author interweaves verses and experiences, creating an intricate poetic system and revealing the emotional couplings, the straps that connect feelings and the axes that move human relationships.

The book presents a construction of knowledge, from discovery to realities in space and time, reflections and actions. It was conceived and structured to be not only a compulsory reading suggestion for those passionate about national literature, but also an instrument to support the teaching-learning process and the construction of man's collective, cultural and identity memory.

Marco Lole de Andrade, full name Marco João Lole de Andrade, was born on January 1, 1995 in the city of Beira. He has a degree in General Mechanics from the Industrial and Commercial Institute of Beira and was a trainer on professional courses at ESSOR in partnership with the Alberto Cassimo Institute for Professional Training and Labor Studies (IFPELAC), the now defunct INEFP - Sofala.

She took part in the 2017 FESTBEIRA and 2018 Show dos Bairros competitions in the poetry declamation category, winning one of the best positions. She took part in the anthologies of poems and chronicles "Mwathu Muno: Beira, nossa terra" (2023) and "Gritamos por Cabo Delgado" (2023), among other participations.
