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.

CHEIRO / SCENT





CHEIRO
( © Patrícia Evans)

Quando eu arrumei as gavetas 
e joguei tudo que não prestava fora, 
reorganizei meus armários 
e meu baú de coisas velhas, antigas, 
não pude deixar de reparar 
no cheiro de novo 
que as tuas recordações tinham.



SCENT 
( © Patrícia Evans)

When I packed my drawers 
and threw away everything that wasn't worthy of,
reorganized my closets 
and my trunk of old, old things, 
I could not help noticing 
the smell "of new" 
your remembrances have.
