A bilingual anthology by a Spanish poet, illustrated with paintings that inspired it. In the poem, Botticelli, accompanied by the painting, The Birth of Venus, he writes: "Upon the sea / all is curling witchery, / twirling curl / & rippling wave, / a geometric order / carried to the border / by uncooling winds that shower bird & flower."
