I prefer the first one, because then you have green-blue and (how would you call this color?). Colorwise the volume will look better on the bookshelves and be easier to locate as in the sequence green-blue-bluegray (or grayblue).

It's volume of our essays on the history of historical science and museum field in Soviet Russia from 1917 to 1941. Part of this volume is archival materials on given topic. It's our third volume in series: first one was devoted to letters between three most important Russian experts in oriental studies of that time, second - to the discussions of art historians in 1936-1938. There are two authors: sincerely yours me
and my great colleague and friend from MoscowBen Jackson

They are three members of Russian Academy of sciences: Nikolai Marr (expert in Caucasian cultures - Georgian medieval literature and archeology of Ani (old capital of Armenian kingdom) - later in his life inventor of infamous "new teaching on language" or "Japhetic theory"), Sergey Oldenburg (expert in Indian literature (jataka tales), Buddhist art and culture (murals of Chan Fo Dun caves near Dunhuang)) and Vasily Bartold (expert in medieval Arabian and Islam history and history of Central Asia). The book by Vera Tolz "Russia's own Orient" is great intro to this moment in the development of Russian oriental studies and its socio-cultural context.
Thanks. In fact, the Jaataka Tales also part of the Buddhist Literature.

Yes, you are right, of course. His topic was Sanskrit jatakas, maybe, it's more correct definition.

On the assumption that you are offering four choices here, not two, I prefer the top of the first one--the yellowish option. Partly because I like the color and partly because it would seem to follow--and yet be distinct from--the first two volumes. Good luck!

Sculpted from a cloud
Of clanging chalkboard erasers
In a sky that depends like sleep, the
Moon stares, unblinking,
A pale neon beta
Neither swimming nor floating, sort of just
Rippling and gilling in a cup.

I wrote a piece on Mickey Hahn, a St Louis feminist writer, who traveled the world and wrote about it spectacularly and, was the concubine of a ww2 spy. https://medium.com/@oakleykelly5/the-eccentric-life-of-mickey-hahn-2f49ba5e1e62

Opened window,
Naked woman's rains
Spatters on blankets.
Unflinching moon springs;
A flower of glass overshadows
Blue haze.
Another window, the occurrence of
Imperceptible fire.

Congrats on your publication, man.
