A portion of sales from The Persephone Collection are being donated to World Central Kitchen. WCK is first to the frontlines, providing meals in response to humanitarian, climate, and community crises.

Some day, when trees have shed their leaves    

And against the morning’s white

The shivering birds beneath the eaves 

Have sheltered for the night,

We’ll turn our faces southward, love,    

Toward the summer isle

Where bamboos spire the shafted grove    

And wide-mouthed orchids smile.

And we will seek the quiet hill    

Where towers the cotton tree,

And leaps the laughing crystal rill,    

And works the droning bee.

And we will build a cottage there    

Beside an open glade,

With black-ribbed blue-bells blowing near,    

And ferns that never fade.

-Claude McKay
