Oblong 16mo. 46, (10)pp. Designed and illustrated by the principal of the press, Rolando Estevez. Alonso's existential poems include, appropriately, biblical references, and are grounded by illustrations executed both by inkjet reproduction and original collage. With an impressive cover design of handmade paper wrappers pulped with raffia, and rocking chairs of real, woven raffia at both covers. An emblematic production by Ediciones Vigía, demonstrating its commitment to the interaction of paper and poetry. Minimal edge rubs, else near fine.
