Signed by poet, Hahn, in blue ink and by artist, Toral in orange felt tip on free front endpaper. Apparent gift inscription in Spanish (I don't read Spanish and script isn't clear enough for Google Translate) also on free front enepaper. Interior is otherwise clean and unmarked throughout. Filled with poetry by Oscar Hahn and watercolors by Mario Toral. Oscar Hahn is a Chilean writer and poet and winner of multiple awards, most notably the Chilean National Prize for Literature.

The author's non-linear poem about the billeting of soldiers in civilian homes in wartime. Copy 89 of a limited edition of 250.
