Los primeros cien ejemplares de este libro van en un estuche que recrea la casa donde viviera la autora y contiene además un árbol, la luna y un cielo con ángeles y estrellas que la resguardan y lo convierten en una muestra de arte instalacionista que deviene homenaje a la gran poetisa norteamericana"--Colophon.
