The cover design by Darío Mora features a striking orange silhouette of two intertwined figures set against concentric circles in purple and green, creating a sense of dynamic motion and spiritual connection. The stylized human forms appear to be dancing or in communion, their bodies merging into a single flowing composition. The bold color contrast and psychedelic circular pattern reflect early 1970s Cuban graphic design aesthetics, while the imagery speaks to the collection's themes of connection, intimacy, and shared experience.
This poetry collection by Rolando López del Amo was published as part of UNEAC's Cuadernos Unión series, with a prologue by renowned Cuban poet Eliseo Diego. López del Amo, born in Havana in 1937, was a literature professor at the University of Havana who received an honorable mention in the prestigious David Poetry Competition in 1969. Diego's prologue emphasizes that lyric poetry achieves its highest expression when it balances sentiment with allusion and exactitude, noting that López del Amo's language achieves this delicate equilibrium. Published by the Unión de Escritores y Artistas de Cuba, this first edition represents the organization's commitment to promoting emerging Cuban poets during the revolutionary period.
