PINTURA:PALABRA -- a chapbook's journey

Letras Latinas has engaged the book art talents of Stephanie Sauer at ArtLyrics for the production and publication of this artisan chapbook. What follows is a photo gallery, with portions of the chapbook’s colophon serving as occasional captions.

PINTURA : PALABRA: an essay in VII movements by Rigoberto González (Letras Latinas, 2019) was designed by Stephanie Sauer of ArtLyrics in collaboration with Francisco Aragón. Sauer bound all copies by hand in her workshop in Brasília.

Each chapbook includes a flyleaf made from sustainably cultivated banana leaf fiber by artists Carmen Lúcia Prado and Leila Prado of Papel do Quintal in São Sebastião, Brazil.
Printing was done in offset in Gráfica Positiva in Brasília on Markatto Concetto Bianco 320g/m2 and Pólen Soft 80g/m2.

Binding was done with linen thread from Ireland. The text was typeset digitally in Poplar Std., Copperplate, and Garamond Premier.
This is a one-time only Edition of 100 + 40 with a publication year of 2019.
Forty chapbooks are destined to reside inside forty artistically designed boxes—each housing, as well, the six literary journals that published the portfolios that Rigoberto González has written his review/essay about.
