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.

JÁ O FEZ ANTES / HAS DONE IT BEFORE




REZA A LENDA
( © Patrícia Evans)
A águia pousa cansada
no cume do agora morro, quase monte;
uma montanha no tempo em que o fez antes.
Começa a bater na rocha o bico, hoje mole;
inquebrantável quando o fez antes.
Brava e dolorosamente ela o arranca como fez antes;
com o novo bico arrancará as unhas,
com as novas unhas, as velhas penas.
Vale o esforço e a vontade,
a dor, pensa, será mais simples,
já o fez antes.
Pobre ave.
Existem segundas chances
mas não há terceiro bico.
