"the host of the air" transcription

Happy New Years all! Yours truly is starting the year out in style with a brand new transcription of the latest TTP poem The Host of the Air. All five pages are posted below. I would apologize for the scribbles and self editing marks; but it's really all part of the process, so take a moment to revel in its rough draft qualities.

With the holiday season finished until April (Valentine's Day doesn't really count), be looking for posts to be up once again at fairly regular intervals. I used the French Paper, Parchetone "Natural" #1046, 80lb text that TTP will be written on for various Christmas presents this year. The only word for this paper is luxurious. The pen and pencil slide over it as effortlessly as a knife cutting through room-temperature butter. It was a real treat, and I even indulged myself by creating a mock booklet and flipping through the pages to see how the experience felt. It was incredible. Yours truly absolutely can not wait to begin work on TTP's final form, so that the paper can be put to good use!
