From the printer's website: "Poems by Emilio Adolfo Westphalen; etchings by Fernando de Szyszlo on Alcantara paper. Text hand set in Centaur and Arrighi in both English and Spanish and printed letterpress by Hal Truschke. Etching printed in several colors by Derli Romero. Bound by Claudia Cohen and David Brock in paste paper over boards with an etching mounted on the cover. Enclosure made of handmade paper.
A collaboration by two Peruvian artists whose creative interactions spanned many decades. The poems are printed in both English and Spanish and the binding allows the etchings to be viewed facing either language."
