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.

NOTÍCIAS DO FRONT / NEWS FROM THE FRONTIER



NOTÍCIAS DO FRONT
( © Patrícia Evans)
.
Hoje,
um pouquinho do ontem,
nada do amanhã,
nada de novo no front,
trilha que me apontem,
nenhuma sugestão,
nenhum conselho,
novo acontecimento
ou qualquer diversão.
Só o apedrejamento
dentro deste nosso quarto;
corriqueiro,
previsível
e chato.

NEWS FROM THE FRONTIER
(© Patricia Evans)
.
Today,
a bit of the Yesterday,
nothing of the Tomorrow,
nothing new under the sun,
no news from the Front,
no one pointing me a track,
no suggestion,
any advice,
new event,
or any fun.
Only this stoning
deep inside my Room;
trite,
predictable,
boring.
