The area is located in the North-western border of the Guayana region, where three phytogeographic units join: the Caribbean, the Amazonian (
Hylaea) and the Guayana regions (Huber & Guanchez, 1988; Huber, 1995).
A collaboration by the
Hylaea group of poets and artists, this collection of verse, prose, and ten illustrations by Vladimir Burliuk--each a portrait of one of the book's contributors--is printed by letterpress on the verso of sheets of cheap wallpaper, under which, as David Burliuk later noted with abject relish, bedbugs and cockroaches had once scurried.
