Poems and Drawings from a Noted Abstract Artist

Con tantos palos que te dio la vida y otras canciones

Notes: A pergamino subcategory that Ediciones Vigía refers to as a "cartucho", a Cuban term to refer to flat paper bags used to deliver products; in this case 10 broadsides laid into a brown paper bag. Sheets 6 by 8 inches. One of 200 copies. Colección not noted.

One of the delightful publications from the earliest years of the press demonstrating Ediciones Vigía's experimentation with the pergamino format.

Jamís (1930–1988) was a Cuban artist and writer who was born in Mexico to Lebanese-Cuban and Mexican parents. He won the Casa de las Américas prize for one of his books and was a member of the artists' group Las Once.

This collection of small broadsides include illustrations by the author and one full-page drawing, all reproduced with a mimeograph. The front of the enclosing bag is also mimeographed and the back cover has a handcolored tipped on illustration.

OCLC: DEIAI FQG IND INU

Edition + Condition: The bag is slightly discolored along one side; a couple of the poem sheets have folded corners.

Publication: Matanzas, Cuba: Ediciones Vigía, 1987.
