The Âyiné publishing house will start publishing Brazilian authors from next year. The house, which has been producing sophisticated editions by foreign authors, notably Italian, for five years, will launch a collection called Arco, intended solely for national production.

The new brand debuts with an unpublished book of poems by Laura Erber, “As Palavras Trocadas”, and will have graphic design by Luísa Rabello, editorial coordinator of Âyiné and editor-in-chief of Chão da Feira.

Its director, Pedro Daniel de Moura Fonseca, says the house has always had an open eye on Brazilian writers, but still lacked the structure to publish them with dedication. Now, after half a decade of activity, Âyiné feels mature enough to take this step.

Erber, by the way, is also preparing a novel for 2023, to be published by Alfaguara, and has already delivered the translation of “Falas Curtas”, produced in partnership with Sergio Flaksman on the work of Canadian Anne Carson, to Relicário.
