Discover two of Ink & Ribbon Press’s most acclaimed titles in one thoughtfully curated collection.

My Name Is Swan by Jan Noble and The Lost Stations by Cara Waterfall represent two distinct poetic voices brought together by a shared commitment to craft, beauty, and the enduring power of the printed book.

Noble’s My Name Is Swan is a three-part trilogy moving from a river’s monologue through a migrant’s reimagined fable to a Dantean descent inspired by true tragedy. An intimate and unforgettable exploration of identity, memory, and resilience.

Waterfall’s The Lost Stations moves through three movements — Traces, Vessel, Tracks — tracing grief, ecology, and the architecture of what’s left behind with remarkable emotional clarity.

Bundle includes:

• My Name Is Swan — Jan Noble

• The Lost Stations — Cara Waterfall

The Lost Stations takes its title from the decommissioned rail stops along Toronto's Beltline Trail — places where the speaker once walked with her father, now overgrown or nearly erased. These abandoned sites become a governing metaphor for interrupted passage, inheritance, and all the ways landscapes hold on to memory.

Written across borders during a period of global crisis, the collection resists the pandemic as its sole frame. Private mourning opens outward into fossil records, migratory routes, damaged habitats, and domestic thresholds.

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.
