Discover the first two books from Ink & Ribbon Press in one thoughtfully curated collection.

Sesquipedalian Rain Chant by Brooks Lampe and My Name Is Swan by Jan Noble represent two distinct poetic voices brought together by a shared commitment to craft, beauty, and the enduring power of the printed book.

Lampe's debut collection moves through rain, language, faith, and the changing seasons with philosophical depth and lyrical precision. Noble's My Name Is Swan offers an intimate and unforgettable exploration of identity, memory, and resilience in a work of remarkable emotional clarity.

Bundle includes:

• Sesquipedalian Rain Chant — Brooks Lampe

• My Name Is Swan — Jan Noble

My Name Is Swan brings together three major narrative poems by British poet Jan Noble — works that have lived across performance, film, theatre, and recording — and presents them together for the first time as a unified poetic work.

Structured as a modern epic in three movements, the collection follows a journey through river, city, and underworld.

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.
