Bajo el cielo de adentro

Notes: 99 pages, mimeographed on one side of each sheet only. 6-3/4 by 9 inches. One of 200 copies. Colección del San Juan.

This is perhaps the most emblematic of Rolando Estévez's books for Ediciones Vigía during the mid-1990s, as the Cuban economic Depression (called the Special Period) began to recede. The poems are mimeographed from typescript, with every page adorned with small drawings and borders. The front and back of the book have pasted-on collage elements as illustrations; the title page has a tiny flower handmade from thread.

The book consists of sheets stapled between thin cardstock covers with a paper jacket. The front cover is handpainted and lettered with an original drawing mounted on it. The drawings are based on four different color schemes, each applied to fifty copies of the book.

Each copy is signed on the front cover by Digdora Alonso.
