Quarto. (13)ff. Color linocuts blend into Vázquez's poems, as does the embroidery on the final page, all executed harmoniously by José Emilio Leyva Azze. Something of a COVID production, but with greater resonance; the pressures and strictures of the pandemic only exacerbated the isolation, inflation, and also the hope that has long characterized daily life in Cuba. Printed on papers made from local, natural materials. Stab-bound in illustrated wrappers embroidered with green thread and with hand-colored butterflies pasted on. Laid in is the publisher's explanatory sheet.
