Born in Rio de Janeiro in 1988, Alice Sant’Anna is the author of Dobradura (2008), Pingue-pongue (co-authored with Armando Freitas Filho, 2012) and Rabo de baleia (2013). Her poetry examines the small delights and inconveniences of daily life through a curious and creative gaze, finding unexpected meanings where we expect the trivial and routine. She works at the magazine Serrote, published by the Instituto Moreira Salles, writes a regular Friday column for O Globo’s “Transcultura” page, and is currently studying for a Master’s degree in literature at PUC-Rio.
