Today I sent the manuscript for my first poetry collection to a professional formatter.
The book will be published under my literary pen name, Iris Lennox, and is titled The Giving of Weight.
For the last several months, I’ve been moving poems around, cutting others entirely, arguing with line breaks, changing titles, adding new work, removing old work, and occasionally staring out windows and calling it research.
Today, it became someone else’s turn to work on it for a while.
Now we wait.
And, apparently, obsess over typography.
Cheers!
