Ana Cristina César, At Your Feet and Other Poems translated by Brenda Hillman and Helen Frances Hillman
Imagistic but abstract, personal and mythic, experimental, surreal, intimately biographical and cubist, the work of Ana Cristina Cesar (1952-1983), is well known in Brazil but not yet widely available in English translation. The title poem of At Your Feet and Other Poems is a long hybrid work, sometimes prose, sometimes lineated verse, documenting the life and mind of a dream-ridden, brilliant, active literary woman. Cesar spent time in England and in Europe, was influenced by American and British poetry—including the work of Emily Dickinson and Sylvia Plath—and returned to Brazil to become an astonishing postmodernist poet and translator; her innovative writing is featured in Green Integer's Nothing The Sun Could Not Explain—20 Contemporary Brazilian Poets (2000). Her oblique and layered poems deploy multiple styles and languages, breaking with prevailing conventions and divisions. She committed suicide in Rio de Janeiro in the 1983 and has posthumously become known as one of the best poets of her generation.

The Electracy and Transmedia Studies Series publishes research that examines the mixed realities that emerge through electracy, play, rhetorical knowledge, game design, community, code, and transmedia artifacts. This book series aims to augment traditional artistic and literate forms with examinations of electrate and literate play in the age of transmedia. Writing about play should, in other words, be grounded in playing with writing. The distinction between play and reflection, as Stuart Moulthrop argues, is a false dichotomy. Cultural transmedia artifacts that are interactive, that move, that are situated in real time, call for inventive/electrate means of creating new scholarly traction in transdisciplinary fields. The series publishes research that produces such traction through innovative processes that move research forward across its own limiting surfaces (surfaces that create static friction). The series exemplifies extreme points of contact where increased electrate traction might occur. The series also aims to broaden how scholarly treatments of electracy and transmedia can include both academic and general audiences in an effort to create points of contact between a wide range of readers. The Electracy and Transmedia Series follows what Gregory Ulmer calls an image logic based upon a wide scope—“an aesthetic embodiment of one’s attunement with the world."
