Editorial notes

— folio 03 · "On porches"

Folio 03, ¶ 2. The phrase "a small ceremony" is doing two jobs — opening the section and closing the previous one. Cut it from one place. Suggest keeping it as the closer; the opener can be the harder line. 22:48 · You

Folio 04. The pull quote "the engawa is not a place; it is a habit" reads better at the volume opener than mid-essay. --accent-deep on the cite is correct; type ramp holds. 22:31 · Hosokawa

Folio 06. Footnote [3] cites a date that doesn't appear in the bibliography. Author owes us a source by Friday or we cut the line. 22:11 · Ward

Folio 09. Final paragraph runs long but earns its length. Holding the comma at "and that, perhaps, is enough" on copy review. 21:54 · You

Cover. Champagne sigil at AAA against graphite — passes. Copper subtitle at AA — passes for short runs only. Approved. 21:18 · Gate

A quiet veranda.

No correspondence from the cabinet at this hour. The studio bell will ring when a reader writes — until then, the desk is yours.
