Un observador de una realidad que nos toca, una interpretación que insiste en desenmascarar con ingenioso humor, una triste cotidianeidad de la cual es complejo o en muchos casos imposible de superar.El autor aun en contra de todo, aun en las mas desafortunadas de las posiciones, toma distancia, analiza, intelectualiza y condimenta de manera amena una de las organizaciones sociales mas increibles.Grenno nos entrega en esta oportunidad una obra mordaz, llena de insolitos personajes y descripciones. Seguramente, los amantes del genero estaran complacidos de haber dado con esta pequeña joyita.

Alice Meynell was a major British author of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This is the first anthology of her verse and prose to be published for over seventy-five years. Meynell was highly regarded both as a poet and as a writer of essays and was seriously proposed for the laureateship on two occasions. G.K. Chesterton said of her that she never wrote a line, or even a word, that does not stand like the rib of a strong intellectual structure; a thing with the bones of thought in it.The present selection includes the early romantic poems of yearning, full of poignant surprises, and the terser, less personal poems of her maturity. Also included is a broad sample of Meynells literary essays, in each case a careful work of art. They include reflections on literature, culture and the natural world, nuanced observations on childhood, and moving defences (both specific and general) of women against trespasses on their dignity.This selection is introduced by Alex Wong, who offers a poets view of Meynells distinctive artistic achievements and locates her within her literary contexts. It also includes an appreciative preface by the renowned feminist critic and theorist Laura Mulvey, who is the authors great-granddaughter.

As poesias que voce encontra neste livro foram escritas entre 1973 e 1989, quando a autora tinha entre nove e vinte e cinco anos, algumas em parceria com suas colegas de faculdade. Seus escritos representam boa parte da adolescencia de uma pessoa que cresceu e se tornou adulta durante a redemocratizaço no Brasil. No representam, de forma alguma, os pensamentos atuais das autoras, mas so um retrato de uma sociedade que ansiava pela chegada de um tempo futuro em que o pais realmente fosse uma potencia e no o lugar "maravilhoso" que convivia com uma inflaço de tres digitos no ano. As poesias refletem os desejos de uma jovem que viveu o movimento "Diretas Ja" e o fim da ditadura, enquanto precisava convidar colegas de trabalho para comprar leite em po em promoço nos supermercados, pois os produtos eram racionados e so permitiam a compra de duas unidades por pessoa.
