About the Book
The ‘Essence of Life’ is a short poem selection, inspired from my own personal life experiences. I utilised my own illustrations as a way to complement the poetry, strengthening the meaning behind the poems. However, my paintings have a voice of their own, that’s one of the primary reason I have included them here.
Some of the poems are on the sad side, but a few have joy.


Many thanks.

Eduardo Barrios

I was born in Quilpué, Valparaiso, Chile in 1965. As a child I was nurtured by my grandmother Doña Clara Alarcon. On the 11 September 1973 my family suffered persecution by the self -elected Military Government under General Pinochet. The International Red-Cross and the British Joint Women Working Group assisted my family to immigrate to the United Kingdom, seeking political asylum in 1978. In order to survive the chaos of the late 1970's in the UK, I had to learn to protect myself. Over 20 years of Martial Arts experience helped me to achieve a respectful standing in the disciplines of Iron-Ox Praying Mantis Kung Fu, Chinese Wrestling and External Chi Kung. I have produced one World Wushu Champion and various National and and Regional Champions within the realm of Traditional Chinese Martial Arts.
