The First Glimpse of Our Debut Book
The first printed glimpse of our inaugural edition—limited to 250 copies
We’ve just received the first image from the printer of our debut poetry book, Sesquipedalian Rain Chant by Brooks Lampe
And something shifts when you see it. And with our highly biased eyes, it is gorgeous.
Not a file. Not a proof.
A book—almost here. Weight, texture, gold catching light. We spent hours picking the right paper, days painstakingly going over different designs, and most likely annoying our printer with the level of detail that went into every design.
Sesquipedalian Rain Chant is real.
