From publisher Letra Muerta Inc.:

Ants, Passiflora, and Me by Lynne Shapiro, translated by Paola Senseve, is a bilingual dos-à-dos publication designed to resemble a notebook. Most of the titles and illustrations were done by recreating and adapting drawings and letters found in her family archive. Shapiro highlights a convergence of hosts and migrations, illuminating the vital symbiotic relationships that the community requires.

The cover was hot-stamped with foil in Colorplan card stock, featuring lilac endpapers in Hahnemühle—internal pages in ivory Springhill lightweight paper, including an insert. External copper staples on Asahi book cloth make up the spine. The edition consists of 200 copies: dry-stamped, numbered, and signed.

The book is set in Milligram by Zetafonts and Sedgwick by Leinster Type.

The book was published and designed by Letra Muerta Inc. (Oriana Nuzzi and Faride Mereb). Castaldo did the binding and hot stamping while Chuqiao (Chloe) Li provided the envelopes and additional assistance. Printing was completed using the Xerox Phaser 7800 at the LM studio. Cory Rockliff carried out the proofreading for English and Graciela Yañez Vicentini for Spanish. The variant of Spanish used for the translation reflects the cultural background of the contributors in Venezuela and Bolivia.
