Description

Winner of the prestigious Premio Rio de Literatura in Brazil, and now available in expert English translation, Adelaide Ivanova's The Hammer nails its bold proclamations to the wall of a rape culture both literary and literal. Naming the names and disabling the victim-blaming machinery of the state, Ivanova offers us a battle cry for the #MeToo era. Beyond this and despite a universe of oppressions, she also manages to envision a space for real intimacy between lovers. A hammer is a weapon, she reminds us, but also a tool. You can tear it all down and then build something with it.

Author Biography:

Adelaide Ivánova was born in 1982 in Recife, Brazil. She is a journalist, political activist, and community organizer, moving among poetry, photography, translation, and publishing. Her first two books are autonomy (2014) and Polaróides (2014). Her writing, translations, and photographs have been published widely in journals such a i-D, The Huffington Post, Vogue, and Marie Claire. She edits the anarcha-feminist zine "MAIS PORNÔ, PVFR!" and tries to work as little as possible. She lives between Cologne and Berlin. Chris Daniels is a feral translator of global Lusophone poetry.
