The mimeographed book was published by Zvilgsniai, a publishing house which Mekas founded together with his brother, Adolfas Mekas(19252011) and two other Lithuanian exile writers, Vytautas Leonas Adamkeviciaus (19231998) and Algirdas Landsbergis (19242004), whose works are also featured in this book.
