    About this ebook

    Poems from the Garden (Poemas do Jardim) is a collection of bilingual poems written side-by-side in English and Portuguese. Conceived of in English and crafted to be read in Portuguese, these poems are the fruit of a journey into learning and loving the Portuguese language. The Garden represents an Ideal—a thing not to be fully realized or attained in this life, but no less real or conceivable. The Garden is Portugal.
