Influenced at the age of 14 by an Emily Dickinson poem, Jeffrey Duarte began writing poetry. Now, more than 20 years later, Jeffrey has written over 1,400 poems and continues to add to his body of work.

In 1995, he was influenced by a friend to consider using a penname. However, it was not until he found himself looking for a screen name on America On-Line that he decided on his first penname, Stimulates. Since that time, he has taken on two other pennames, the Silhouette Lover and well, you may have heard of Confucius, the Chinese Philosopher, Jeffrey is Brofucius, the philosophical brother.

On August 13, 2001, he founded Speak-Easy Publishing Company.
