One house, two rooms, one shelf.

The studio and naialewis.com already share a face: the same illustrations run in koko on this site and in eggplant on Naiʻa's. This shelf is the second thread between them. The memos keep the studio's series identity, the poems keep Naiʻa's first-person hand, and gathering them in one place lets the crossover be read rather than explained.
