Henriqueta Lisboa (1901–1985) was a Brazilian writer. She was awarded the Prêmio Machado de Assis for her lifetime achievement by the Brazilian Academy of Letters.[1] She is famous for her well-chosen words to create powerful poems. Her early lyrics deal with traditional poetic themes, while her later poems like Echo, she mysteriously magnifies the effect of a single image.

Several of her poems were translated into other languages: English, French, Spanish, Latin and German. Some of them below:

  • The echo– translated by Blanca Lobo Filho
  • Ein Dichter war im Krieg– translated by Blanca Lobo Filho
  • Palmier des plages– translated by Véra Conradt
