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

Todo acerto era computado,

(Todo dia vestia branco.)

erros, nem tanto

(Todo dia era dia de santo.)

e, esse talvez tenha sido

o maior engano;

(Há um santo que se despe.)

tivesse contado,

não haveria terminado

(Não há um que não preste
.
mas um feito de pau ôco.)

o que não teria começado.

(Nem todo santo é louco.)
