Small quarto. 150pp. Illustrations throughout by Marialva Rios include paper collages, photocopied drawings, hand-coloring, and, at the half title, nature printing. Kozer was born in 1940 in Havana to Jewish parents who had fled Eastern Europe. His poetry has consistently treated the displaced identity of the Jewish Caribbean, and his experiments in typographical form recall those of other postmodernists like Frank O'Hara and George Oppen - the New York relation is a gesture, and reciprocal influence of, Kozer's long residence in the city and his professorship at Queens College. Text in both Spanish and English. Bound in stiff wrappers covered in panted and crinkled paper, with elements of wood, sand, and pebbles arranged to show a figure triumphant against the sun. Creasing to element protruding beyond edges of covers, bumping to corners, else very good.
