Mujeres Poetas

Leather binding

This collection of books is focused on women poets - Rosalia de Castro, Emily Dickinson, Sylvia Plath, Alfonsina Storni, & Wistawa Szymborska. I discovered these bilingual editions from Nordica Libros, where the whinsical poems of these amazing women are paired with beautiful illustrations. Starting with these exquisite pages, I enhanced these books by using several distinctive bookbinding structures.
