As you can see, another poem of mine was marked as “Daddy’s boy”. Is this a mistake? If you know me, or my work, you know the answer is “no”. So why this? The answer is simple: “Daddy’s boy” is how I named my new artistic era, and the poems — identified like this — will be part of the book “DADDY’S BOY”.
However, an era cannot be reduced to a single production. I know this is very common for singers — they release an album, some photographs, followed by a tour, and then they say that it was an era (and it’s ok!). But my daddy’s boy era won’t be limited to one production. Three books are on my table, and other projects are being gestated in my mind. And you need to know the book “DADDY’S BOY” won’t be released now or soon — probably in 2027 (13 August — my birthday).
The era started on 30 November 2025, with the poem “The Return of the Unspoken”. As you can see there, the same in other productions, the “daddy’s boy” is philosophical (always!), erotic (always too!), and political (obviously!). There’s a dialogue with the fetish, where a man (with 18 as the minimum age required) feels attracted to a guy older than him, and there are other layers; for example: the boy here is not a person ready to be conducted or manipulated to the other, he is a master of his life, he knows he is a subject, and he knows what he deserves, and what he did not need to feel or to endure.
The “daddy’s boy era” works with some thinkers, directly and indirectly, such as: Jacques Lacan; Judith Butler; Michel Foucault; Susan Sontag; Martin Heidegger; Bell Hooks; Alice Miller; Susan Forward; Hannah Arendt; Clarice Lispector; Constantin Stanislavski; Hilda Hilst; Aristotle; Plato; Socrates; Freud (in opposition).
It’s this for now. You will know more about the era during the experience, or experiences. This daddy’s boy is really enjoying this era (I wrote “era” so many times — I am really laughing). And yes, I like guys older than me, I sit on their laps, I get cuddly, and I give deep slow kisses.
Kind regards,
Victor dos Anjos.
