About the author
Carlos Barroso is a Portuguese author published by Notag, where his work includes Amores e Gritos de um Imigrante (2022), listed in the categories of biography and poetry, and Desabafos e Cicatrizes (2025). The publisher's pages present him as Carlos A. V. Barroso.
In the autobiographical text shown for Desabafos e Cicatrizes, he says he was born on July 17, 1947, in the Socorro parish of Lisbon and grew up among neighborhoods including Bica and Mouraria. Those details help place his writing in a strongly personal, memory-driven context.
Because only limited biographical information was available from reliable public pages I could confirm here, the picture that emerges is necessarily brief: an author associated with poetry and life-based writing, whose published work leans toward emotion, recollection, and the experience of an immigrant.
