Marie Claudia Faverio

I am a Bohemian spirit, an Aussie girl living in the Illawarra, about 80 km south of Sydney.

I delight in writing poems, aphorisms, fairy tales, and puzzles, as well as in painting and playing / composing music (I play the keyboard, the piano the flute, and the guitar, which I all learnt to play by myself, and I also intend to learn how to play the pan flute in the near future). I find my inspiration in nature and in trying to find again the oneness with the universe.

My books are highly recommended by the Poetic Genius Society and the Ludomind Society, a society for poets and for puzzlers respectively.

Genius and Insanity (Review)

And this is a review of my Selected Poems (and other comments on my poetry):

Beauty at Its Best

I finished my studies in five languages summa cum laude. I understand three additional languages (Portuguese, Esperanto, and Latin). I also studied educational sciences and public relations, and attended some courses in sociology (all with top marks, although I am now mainly engaged in other fields, being now disabled).
I am a member of several (more than 45) HiQ societies, two of which require an IQ >164 and one an IQ > 180 (I am an honorary member of this society), but I am only active in a couple of them at the moment (for many reasons - like health etc.). In general, I don't join HiQ societies any more either, if they don't have a "focus", in particular a humanitarian focus. In general, I have to say I have met very good people in the HiQ community, but also very bad people. I am grateful for the good ones, but I would like to stay away from the baddies without any moral values...

Over the last few months, I have enjoyed contributing to the journals of ISPE, PGS, Glia, TNS, VinCI, and Reason and Rhyme.

I also try to be active in organizations to help improve humanity and alleviate suffering, in particular organizations against discrimination of any kind. Helping the needy is one of my main goals at the moment. Life hasn't treated me too nicely, so I would like others to have it better.

I also have two email addresses to help people. If you have a problem and think I can help you, please click here.

If you suffer from Asperger's, this is where you should write if you would like to share your experiences.


The secret of my creativity? Extreme sensitivity, high IQ (to a certain extent), perseverance, and Asperger's :).

7% of my annual royalties starting from January 1, 2007 will go to charity.

If you find this site too big, here is a "summary" of my major creations: My Creations at a Glance.

Or click here for a list of categorized (minor) files.


Thanks to everyone who helped me maintain this shop, and also to all the people who have supported my efforts in helping me propagate my work.
