Portugal, 25 de Abril de 1974 / 2024 — 50
25 de Abril 1974
by Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen
Esta é a madrugada que eu esperava
O dia inicial inteiro e limpo
Onde emergimos da noite e do silêncio
E livres habitamos a substância do tempo
– [from 'O nome das coisas', 1977]
25th April 1974
by Sophia de Mello Breyner
This is the dawn I was waiting for
The first day whole and pure
When we emerged from night and silence
Alive into substance of time
– Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen, (1977), 25th April 1974, in Marine Rose. Selected Poems, Translated by Ruth Fainlight, Black Swan Books, Redding Ridge, CT, 1988, p. 56

Book cover process.
It was a fun challenge to create a design for the cover that looked like a distinctive book while also matching the look of Deephaven, developing the overall series look. Big thanks to the book's designer Molly Fehr for the type and title design!
Scrimshaw will be on shelves this September, and you can support the series by preordering (or picking up the first book) now!

I'm reading Wuthering Heights for the first time, and homeboy Lockwood just came unannounced and uninvited to Heathcliff's place knowing he dislikes people AND THEN COMPLAINED when people reacted poorly to it and didn't comply to his demands. Like mister, they are not the ones being rude right now.

I know we all love Utterson's "If he be Mr. Hyde, I shall be Mr. Seek." But why are we all sleeping on this one comment from Enfield
About as emotional as a bagpipe.

Langston Hughes, Kids Who Die (1938), in The Collected Poems of Langston Hughes, (1994), Edited with an Introduction by Arnold Rampersad, Alfred A. Knopf, New York, NY, 1997, pp. 210-211
«My one regret about my fine time of learning and discovery at Columbia is the knowledge that other African Americans who later went on to become movers and shakers in the world were turned away from the university. […] Langston Hughes, accepted at Columbia University in the early twenties, was denied a room in the dormitory because he was black. He lived in the Harlem YMCA, spent much of his time exploring the cultural attractions of Harlem, and dropped out after only a year at Columbia. He eventually graduated from Lincoln, a black college in Pennsylvania. By 1926, he had published his first volume of poetry. The rest is history.»
– Wendy Jones, Columbia and Race: In the Right and in the Wrong, «Write Columbia's History». C250 Perspectives, Columbia University, New York, NY, [2003-2004]
