OEI # 66 is the first substantial presentation outside of Brazil of the avant-garde movement poema/processo (process/poem), launched at the same time, on December 11 1967, in Rio de Janeiro and Natal.

Due to pressure from the military dictatorship the movement was brought to a halt in 1972, but several of the initial participants have continued to work up until today (Wlademir Dias-Pino, Neide de Sá, Falves Silva…). OEI # 66 is a 520 pages long montage of images and documents, translations of manifestos and key essays, and interviews and new essays by Fernanda Nogueira, Antonio Sergio Bessa and many others. It also features shorter presentations of three other Brazilian avant-garde movements from the 60s, 70s and early 80s: poesia práxis, poesia marginal and pornismo.

OEI # 66 is edited by Jonas Magnusson, Cecilia Grönberg and Tobi Maier.
