Emotions & Emocoes Pierre Soter

"With reason, we can see more than we can sense. With emotions, we can go beyond what we can reason".

This is the motto which Pierre Sotér proposes for the book. That is true "if we take the time to listen to our deep states of mind and to our raw instincts, and then, if we have the courage to follow them and bring our souls with us wherever we go, whenever we come back, we will at least touch the threshold where some sense of those mysteries can be made."

Pierre Sotér tried to put some of it in words. "In poetry each word can, in mysterious ways, by combining with other words, in no less mysterious ways, allow us to travel through our emotions, and make it possible for new emotions, sometimes unknown, to take control of our souls and minds. That is what the words in this book tried to do with myself, in their own secret emotional way."

EMOTIONS is a poetry book written in two languages. English and Portuguese. All poems are original, for it is not possible to translate a poem without losing the emotions that are embedded in the words. Two people may share emotions, but they will never be exactly the same. Likewise, for words.
