The shifts in writing come about unexpectedly and are meant to engage the audience. The beauty of Ho's writing is that it can stand unfinished, "akin to casting off on a knitting project, knowing it's not quite finished, but it will hold its shape until one decides to reopen the stitches and re-work or add." The layout of the body was inspired heavily by Ho's writing. I wanted to control the way in which the poems were read, emphasizing the breaks, the shifts of thought. The cover work counters the interior layout and is based upon the title, which came about from the various files Ho accumulated while working on the poems, (the edits and additions). This book was published by the non-profit organization, Tinfish Press. Ya-Wen Ho's book, last edited [insert time here], plays with language and forces the reader/listener to pay close attention.

The book is a collection of writings from seventeen "Euro-American" writers about or inspired by Hawai‘i.

This book was published by the non-profit organization, Tinfish Press. The cover is a representation of the Egyptian flag, which holds much symbolism of the country's political history. The angles introduced in the cover continue throughout the interior of the book and echo Zaher's outsider perspective. While originally from Cairo himself, Zaher wrote from a "sideline view" giving the reader a simple glimpse of the full situation.
