Starting on The Lilac Years
I did not realize until just a moment ago that it is already past midnight. That’s because I have started on The Lilac Years at last, doing the copy-and-paste from my Word documents into InDesign, and working on the basic layout.
Below are screenshots of a few of the spreads. So far, the main drawback to putting the titles at the bottom of the page is that longer titles are a bit troublesome. What I have been doing is to keep the titles their full size (Clarendon 13/15) as long as they fit within two lines; once they go to three, I fit what makes sense on the first line, then make the rest of the title smaller (8/11) so that it fits on the second line.
Of course, if I scrap this particular iteration, I won’t have to worry about any of that—but I’m going to place all the poems in InDesign first. Then the fun can begin.
Stay tuned!

The website is back up
It is still a work in progress, but my website (https://www.kevinjoconner.com/) is back online. I had taken it down during the summer, after a scan indicated the presence of malware. Attempts to restore from backups failed, and I wasn’t up to messing around with it, so I made the choice to keep it offline for the time being.
But now it’s back. Basic—information about a few of the books, plus an About page—but back. You can get to it using the link in this post, or the the link in the navigation menu at the top of the page.
