Body Art (Para otras lecturas del cuerpo)
Notes: 19 pages. 7-1/4 by 9-3/4 inches. One of 50 copies. Colección Puente de Hierro.
The cover includes a naked female doll, described on the colophon as a socialist Barbie made in China ("una barbie socialista realizada en China").
This is a collection of poems in Spanish and English translation, about sexuality and menstruation, with related illustrations by Rolando Estévez, including a recreation of a used menstrual pad. The pages, photocopied white paper, are all stained, according to the colophon, with the "sangre de una mujer desconocida" [blood of an unknown woman]. Your cataloguer double-checked with the artist and confirmed that was a metaphorical, not literal, description of the materials used.
Álvarez Rodríguez is a feminist poet from Matanzas.
