The book appeared in a bilingual edition by Milkweed Editions in this country last spring. Collections of Rosa Alice Branco's poetry have appeared in Spain, France, Italy, Luxembourg, Quebec, Tunisia, Corsica, Venezuela, Brazil, and elsewhere. Here in the USA her poetry has appeared in forty magazines to date, including The Massachusetts Review, Pleiades, The Literary Review and Prairie Schooner. Her translator, Alexis Levitin, has published over thirty books of translation of Portuguese poetry and prose and is a SUNY Distinguished Professor.
