Sesquipedalian Rain Chant

$18.95

A meditative collection rooted in Oregon’s wet seasons and shaped by spiritual and poetic tradition.

Organized as a journey through the year, it treats rain not as weather but as method—a recurring force that reshapes language and love. The poems blend domestic life with ancient voices, exploring how coherence might emerge without simplification.

This is a book for readers who believe poetry can hold both depth and mystery, and who are willing to be changed not by certainty, but by the quiet persistence of rain.

From poet Brooks Lampe, Sesquipedalian Rain Chant is Ink & Ribbon’s debut publication.
