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. 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 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.
