edit data

Sonja N. Bohm is author of bilingual poems written side-by-side in Portuguese and English and inspired by Portugal. They are conceived in English and crafted to be read in Portuguese. Yet the versions are not strict translations of one another. The writing process begins with the conception of the poems in English, as the essence, ideas, and emotions to be expressed are developed. The English and Portuguese versions are crafted together simultaneously, line by line, back and forth through trial and error, in a dance of words that intertwine like two distinct bodies searching for harmony with one another, each influencing the other's content, movement and rhythm. ...more

Sonja’s Quotes

“My Poems were written without a purpose, other than the expression of faiths and ideals strongly realized and emotions keenly felt. They were written for the joy of writing, and for the satisfaction of an irresistible impulse. It is my belief that it is not the business of art either to teach or to preach.”
― Florence Earle Coates
