Poster has a blue background with red and black text. In the center is an image of the earth and a female figure in a sitting position holding a heart in her hands. The poster reads, "Managua Nicaragua Libre/ I'm Going To Plant A Heart On The Earth/ Rosario Murillo/ Secretary General, Association of Sandinista Cultural Workers." The poem starts with, "I'm going to plant a heart in the earth/ water it with love from a vein/ I'm going to praise it with the push of muscle..." and ends with, "a heart unnerving, unnameable/ something simple and sweet/ a heart that has loved./ (Translation - Barbara Paschkel)."
