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.

COLHEITA

COLHEITA
( © Patrícia Evans)
.
É certo, por vezes
não sabemos, o valor exato
do que está em nossas mãos
Nunca entretanto,
elas carregam menos
que a coisa merecida
Tudo que nos é dado
tem o peso contado
e a certa medida
Nem mesmo acontece
ser injusto a desdita
das duas mãos vazias.
