Visual artist book in which each letter of the Spanish alphabet is printed across a full page to create a grid-like or plaid-like pattern. All letters are printed once in black on white paper and twice in white on black paper; with sheets facing one another.
Fragmented memories from a past unhealthy relationship are revisited and examined through poetry and collage in this zine. The photographs that paper the background of this zine were taken by the artist; the words and images in the foreground are cut from deaccessioned library books.
The dissection of a YA nonfiction book chapter of the same title (The Care of Pearls) results in this collaged photography and poetry zine.

"This zine is the prototype for QUEER MASSES, a collaborative project published quarterly by RUMTUM in 2020 with generous support from The Jerome Foundation and The Minnesota Center For Book Arts. This series explores the interaction between the historical role of the book as a social object, zines as an alternative information source for queer communities, and the narrowing space between artists' books and zines in a world in which all physical publishing is increasingly rare. Words and binding are by Sarah, images are by Jade."--Provided by the artists
"We made this zine while thinking about the expansion of language regarding genderqueer pronoun useage and the similarly expansive space we feel in our (physical/ metaphysical/ emotional) bodies as gender variant people." --Provided by the artists
