਀ഊAuthor's Note:  My entry for this year's (2007) novice pentathalon is a Villanelle poem entitled "Our Hero", set to song and hand-calligraphed on handmade paper with ink that I made from black walnuts gathered from our yard.  This article and bibliography on Handmade Black Walnut Ink is excerpted from the paper.
