Spreads for the introductory chapter of a book whose title was based on a quote of my choosing. I decided upon a section of poetry by Sappho: "May I write in words more naked than flesh, stronger than bone, more resilient than sinew, sensitive than nerve." I envision this as a coffee-table book, perhaps of modern poetry, short stories, or anecdotes. As such, I felt wide margins would be acceptable and attractive, and took the liberty of filling them (in these first pages, at least) with the text of the quote itself.
