Nightboat Books encourages you to calibrate your text size using the line of characters below:
“Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit magna diam dignissim.”
Please take the time to adjust the size of the text on your viewer so that the line of characters above appears on one line, if possible.
When this text appears on one line on your device, the resulting settings will most accurately reproduce the layout of the text on the page and the line length intended by the author. Viewing the title at a higher than optimal text size or on a device too small to accommodate the lines in the text will cause the reading experience to be altered considerably; single lines of some poems will be displayed as multiple lines of text. If this occurs, the turn of the line will be marked with a shallow indent.

Wearing a skirt on a Sunday afternoon
SHUFFLED SLIDES OF A CHANGING PAINTING
Tagalog
Nanay once joked that when it came time to move to the U.S.
she’d beg the pilot to turn back. Or she’d jump out of the plane
swim back to Manila.
Come back
I pray
langoy
langoy
langoy ka.
Swim with the river.
Sa ilog.
