detail minded to death

A writer is someone who even fusses over the font style of his gravestone.

type parameter

Bad typography can damage the text, but good/fancy typography cannot appreciably improve it.

ingathers only to disgorge

The poem is reservoir for anything, for everything, only to become font of life, love and loss.

letterpress to the rescue

There is nothing like seeing a display of fine letterpress books and broadsheets, the simple & elegant designs, the almost palpable fonts, the textures and muted colors of the beautiful papers, to restore one’s faith in poetry in its purest sense. Even slight discolorations at the edges of pages, or the fading of some of the text, reminds you of what it was that first drew you to the art of poetry.
