Good thing to write in English is that the effort to write poetic prose fades. The reason is I do not have the full capacity to evaluate the quality of my writing when I write in another language. On the other hand, I have much more to say in Portuguese, and always in the broadest and most creative sense. The composition is more pure, the notes are released more naturally. Energy is lost in translation. I need literature in English, reading great novels to improve my performance. In the meantime, I've been listening to the new poem of Matilde Campilho and felt exactly this feeling. That is good. Too good to miss. And I miss writing in my language. It's my way of freedom.
