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.

INTELLIGIBLE GOD



INTELLIGIBLE GOD
(Patrícia Evans)


A billion of leagues
and one pair of legs

Hundreds of smells,
so many tastes,
torrents of views,
innumerable colours
and one nose,
one mouth,
two eyes . . . barely.

Countless strangers,
endless loves,
only one sex
and one heart .

Great opportunities,
a lot of good things,
an infinity of bad
and just one chance;
a short and brief life.
