Dayanne
Dockhorn

Hi! I'm Dayanne, nice to meet you. I'm a writer and author of Moments Missed, my debut book, a delicate and sensitive essay on grieving the loss of a pet. In my second book, O mundo pode esperar, I turn to poetry and prose to observe daily life in a world that never stops.

About me

Dayanne Dockhorn

I was born in Porto Alegre in 1993.
I've been writing for more than fifteen years and grew up imagining a life guided by words.

My writing is born from the observation of daily life, of the small scenes that sustain ordinary living. Between poems, essays, and narratives, my first books explore memory, absence, grief, growth, and the delicate task of existing in the contemporary world.

Today, I see literature as a form of attention to the small scenes that unfold while no one is looking.

Cover of the book O mundo pode esperar

O mundo pode esperar is a book of verses and prose meant to be read without hurry. In it, I capture small joys and tender gestures — scenes that might otherwise go unnoticed, but which here become the object of careful listening.

Cover of the book Moments Missed

My first book, Moments Missed, was born from grief and from the attempt to record what remains latent in our daily lives after the loss of someone dear.
