I KNOW IT'S NOT SO

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."

Robert E. Sheridan

Mr. Sheridan had been an editor for the New York Times for 32 years. He is also a poet, and a father.

CERTAINS

CERTAINS

Every heart made of stone
hurts a flesh heart
every face I love
my scarlat kiss spots
every samba's lady
knows how to move her waist
every drinker
has slept in some gutter
every waiter deserves a tip
everybody has already heard a "fuck you"
everybody has already said a "fuck you"
and every stone
becomes dust.
