The Waste Land, by Matthew Hollis

La pasión de los poetas, by Jorge Boccanera

A Visible Man, by Edward Enninful

In Progress: See Inside a Lettering Artist’s Sketchbook and Process, from Pencil to Vector, by Jessica Hische

Love That Journey For Me, Emily Garside

Burn After Writing, Sharon Jones
