Um saudosismo com cheiro de terra molhada pela chuva. Esse é o cheiro dessas páginas – sejam digitais ou físicas! Uma antologia que reúne as nuances de várias infâncias pelo mundo afora: do colorido em uma folha de papel A4 à melancolia de uma vida dura, desde os primeiros segundos neste planeta azul. Nuances e divergências à parte, o ponto comum e possível de vislumbrar na antologia “Infâncias” é que o tecido que separa a própria infância da poesia é tão sutil que em certos pontos é muito difícil distingui-los. Dito isso, esta antologia tem de fato muito de infância dentro de si. Talvez seja uma forma de infância. Dos medos absurdos à uma casinha com uma árvore em um dia de sol… Ah! Infâncias… M. Sales
Ana Cristina Cesar (1952-1983) has posthumously become one of Brazil’s best known avant-garde poets. After her suicide in 1983, her innovative, mythic, and dreamlike poetry has greatly influenced subsequent generations of writers. At Your Feet was originally published as a poetic sequence and later became part of a longer hybrid work— sometimes prose, sometimes verse—documenting the life and mind of a forcefully active literary woman. Cesar, who also worked internationally as a journalist and translator, often found inspiration in the writings of other poets, among them Emily Dickinson, Armando Freitas Filho, and Gertrude Stein. Her innovative writing has been featured in Sun and Moon’s classic anthology Nothing the Sun Could Not Explain—20 Contemporary Brazilian Poets (2000). Poet Brenda Hillman and her mother Helen Hillman (a native speaker of Portuguese) worked with Brazilian poet Sebastião Edson Macedo and translator/editor Katrina Dodson to render as faithfully as possible the intricately layered poems of this legendary writer. At Your Feet includes both the English translation and original Portuguese.

Ecotoxicology is the science that seeks to predict the impacts of chemi cals upon ecosystems. This involves describing and predicting ecological changes ensuing from a variety of human activities that involve release of xenobiotic and other chemicals to the environment. A fundamental principle of ecotoxicology is embodied in the notion of change. Ecosystems themselves are constantly changing due to natural processes, and it is a challenge to distinguish the effects of anthropogenic activities against this background of fluctuations in the natural world. With the frustratingly large, diverse, and ever-emerging sphere of envi ronmental problems that ecotoxicology must address, the approaches t...
