Three hundred and twenty pages of poems in a hand-sized hardcover. One typeface, one plum rule, no pictures.

Cover 10 pages

Books

A poetry collection set in one text face across 320 pages, with a single plum rule marking the start of each section. The trim is 125 by 200 so it fits a coat pocket, and the paper is cream so the pages stay quiet under a lamp.

The flatplan for a poetry book is mostly about where the poems break; this one broke well.
