New Type!

So excited to finally begin printing with this beautiful type from Skyline Type Foundry. I ordered it especially in order to print a series of poems I've been working on for some time--poems written into the lost portions of Sappho fragments, using her original form and meter. 

The sample below was published in a beautiful edition of We Still Like. Limited edition print version is sold out, but you can view the previous issue online.

from Negative Fragments

Carry my first drink of the sea in colored
glass, for all this water π]αρκαλειοιτας ε the new waves
seeding wild calm fish in the tide πάμ]παν οὐκεχη so
bright as your ερ ἐόρταν shines
this night μαν [Ἤ]ραι τελε sacrifice tastes of summer
sew my gowns from octopus feathers, fish scales,
bones of eel ἆς ἄ an arm. This water
agitates without
dashing itself out like the birds against the
rock. Then teach me new like the ocean teaches
breaking open, salted, my mouth with tastes of 
seaweed and butter

Carry my first drink of the sea in colored
glass, for all this water invites the new waves
seeding wild calm fish in the tide all not so
bright as your face shines
this night for Hera sacrifice tastes of summer
sew my gowns from octopus feathers, fish scales,
bones of eel as long as an arm. This water
agitates without
dashing itself out like the birds against the
rock. Then teach me new like the ocean teaches
breaking open, salted, my mouth with tastes of 
seaweed and butter
