Adélia Prado: http://www.antoniomiranda.com.br/poesia_ingles/adelia_prado.html Wikipedia: "started writing at the age of 40 which is relatively late in life for a poet." made me laugh. I liked "The Impressionist" the best. Her style is very conversational in English.

[tailor STATELY]

Ah. I found a collaborative translation of "Profundamente" that I like: http://themissingslate.com/2015/09/20/deeply/ . It makes me reflect upon the myriad of interpretations in which a poem may be read; where the flavor/passion/word play of one's poems is imagined not only in the native language of the poem but in the translation into other languages. I find Emily Dickinson's poems endearing, but how do they hold up in Portuguese or Spanish or French or Farsi... ? For me the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam holds up in the translation I have read, but did I get the full impact of the nuances the writer intended ? Pardon my musing.

Re: Deeply-You are right. This translation is freer but it flows better. But something always gets lost, like the significant rhymes in mente.
It ocurred to me that one, just one of the difficulties of this particular poem might me the festivity that provides the context. As I don´t know if and how you celebrate "St. John" I looked it up:

Don´t worry!
I agree with you that it is very difficult to find good translations of poetry and even with the best ones, something always gets lost. I am astonished to find so many translations of Brazilian poems in the net and some of them are not very good. On the other hand I've noticed that you and other Litneters have an acurate sensibility for foreign poetry. And what would be the use of English poetry which you and the other natives already know or find easy to research?

Aleksandër Stavre Drenova http://www.poemhunter.com/aleksander-stavre-drenova/

[Danik 2016]

St. John´s Day was an important event in Bandeira´s youth. The celebration time started with St. John´s and went until St. Peter. It was mainly a rural comemoration celebrated with people congregating around a big fire, dancing the "quadrilha" and eating typical food and drinking "quentão"(a hot sweet alcoholic drink).Today the festivities are mostly confined to school as they coincide with the end of term with the small kids dancing the "quadrilha" for their parents. And also to the churches whith volunteers mounting barracs of typical food to get funds. The hot air paper ballons are forbidden today because of the fire danger.

Thanks. I'm trying to order Landeg White's translation of Luís de Camões' epic "the Lusiads" for my Kindle... but it says order pending for some reason... only $7.55 USD. I'll check my Kindle in a bit to see if I have to bless the transaction or something. In "Portrait" Cecília employs being lost in mirrors - a theme I've explored a few times. "Motive" shows her sombre side, though she claims otherwise. I don't get the poem "Guitar" at all.

Matthew Rohrer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Rohrer

[Danik 2016]

The translation by Richard Burton is in the net(free pdf).
"Guitar" is a mystery in Portuguese too. It seems to refer to a very specific event or person and to her depressive "sombre side". But the connection between dagger and guitar escapes me.

Bad link but I sorted it out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruno_Barreto . I've seen most of the movie (I missed the end) and studied Bishop's poetry and life to a moderate extent.

Sorry for the bad link on Barreto. I saw the film but the end was depressing.

Interesting quote from wikipedia: "He decided that fiction not only allowed more artistic freedom, but could portray everyday life more truthfully." I was not aware of his work.

Thanks, Tailor, great discovery. I've never heard about her, though I must have seen her in two films as actress (in a very modest role as she isn´t named in the cast).

Erich Kästner

I've heard of "Emil and the Detectives' but have never read it. "In 1932 Kästner wrote Der 35. Mai (The 35th of May), which is set in a fantasy land entered via a wardrobe and includes futuristic features such as mobile phones." Apparently his wardrobe predates "The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe" (1950). "Das doppelte Lottchen" - "The Parent Trap"... amazing. WWII: Berlin, Dresden !, I can't imagine.
