Small quarto. (12)ff. Illustrations throughout embossed in color and blind to sheets made from a range of natural, local fibers, some with decorative edges, one intentionally loose, and another folded into an envelope. Hidalgo's prose poems reckon with the nature of poetry in the Caribbean, caught between European and American influences and African and Latin diasporas. References, for example include Nixon and the Watergate scandal, Charlie Chaplin, and an entire poem devoted to, and identifying with, Virginia Woolf. Stab-bound in wrappers of handmade papers with green and orange threads onlaid. Colophon on a separate sheet laid in. Light rubs, else near fine.
