Miró da Muribeca (born João Flávio Cordeiro da Silva in Recife, 1960) was the author of over fifteen books of poetry. In his own words, “poetry came into my / life with someone shouting goal / a kid from the favela / in the José Revoredo soccer field.” In 2022, he passed away due to complications of cancer. Miró is warmly remembered for his moving performances at literary events and in the streets of Recife. A commemorative statue in the center of Recife portrays Miró reciting, “despite the / side effects / love is still / the best medicine.”
