About Patricia Evans' poetry

"Although I have spent time with Patrícia Evans on three separate occasions, I feel I know Patrícia Evans only through her poetry. She hides nothing, she surrenders everything. It is some of the most powerful poetry I have ever read. And I have read only English translations of her poems, so those who read her in her native Portuguese will experience her even more intimately. They should prepare themselves for imagery, anger, compassion, despair, humor, insight, knowledge of her self and the deepest love for those she loves, especially dad."

RELEVANTE / RELEVANT

RELEVANTE

Hoje, breve constatação;
sou importante para ninguém
ou
o ser para quem o sou,
se existir,
não sabe fazer-me sentir importante
e,
muito provavelmente,

porque não se importa.

RELEVANT

Today, a brief revelation;
I'm important to no one
or
the one for whom I'm important to,
if there's any,
does not show it
and
probably,
because it's not important.
