16mo. (14)ff. Illustrations by Perla María Pinedo show a Whitmanesque figure float carrying along or floating above a cityscape, emblematizing the optimism of Espinosa's poetry. The current of hope runs throughout thanks to the strength of Cuba's relative economic stability during the 1980s, and it was this same stability which enabled the Press to operate on socialist principles. The collaborative foundation drove the Press toward resourcefulness and egalitarianism, demonstrated here in the book's chapbook format and relatively straightforward reproducibility. As the Press grew, its books became more elaborate and more multimedia, urged so because of the paradoxical forces of creative evolution and economic pressures. Bound in plain illustrated, hand-colored wrappers bound with twine. Minimal rubs, else near fine. Quite scarce, as is often the case for pre-1990s titles, with only one copy recorded in OCLC, and that in Germany.
