The article analyzes publications by nosotros, an indie publishing house concerned with giving visibility to the production of Argentinean and Brazilian women. For four years, the publishing house portrays the work in progress of women poets in bilingual booklets (Spanish-Portuguese) with thematic and aesthetic diversity. The present text intends to discuss processes of erasure and inclusion of women in institutional environments and poetic anthologies in Brazilian poetry; the difficulty of a mature woman to persist publishing even today; the independent market as the locus that remains possible to articulate resistance and new poetics; the themes of physical displacement in poetry written by women and the search for new roads to find their ways. Statistics on poetic anthologies from the beginning of the century are pointed out to measure the exclusion of women, besides the use of the theoretical aspects of gender studies and feminist criticism to analyze the poems in the methodology. In conclusion, the editorial task of nosostros, and this very text are acts to guarantee the memory of women Brazilian poets, to portray their work in progress, to affirm that they exist and can persist in the future.
