Translated by John Oliver Simon.
Illustrated by
Piet Grobler.
Each of the volume's eleven poems focuses on one color. Sometimes using free verse and other times rhyme, the verse (in both English and Spanish) loosely follows the progression of color as day turns into night. Some of the poems are easily accessible while others are more abstruse. The accompanying illustrations, heavy on the subject color, also effectively use white space.
