Poetry. LatinoLatina Studies. Translated from the Portugese by K. DavidJackson. RENATA OTHER POEMS introduces readers to Renata Pallottinis worldof organized anarchy in a stunning bilingual volume. Bringing the reader toan entirely new understanding of the personal and the political Pallottinierases the artificial demarcation between the heart and the brain between thereal and the imaginary between the sophisticated and the simple. WhilePallottini is undoubtedly very Brazilian in her worldview and sensitivity anysocalled cultural differences do not play a role in a readers perception ofher work. Pallottinis poetry gives breath to the very essence of Brazilianlife indeed of life in general. «
