I came across this epigraph from Toni Morrison's Jazz. Here is her epigraph and below is a translated version of the "The Thunder, Perfect Mind" by The Nag Hammadi.

Epigraph from Jazz

I am the name of the sound
  and the sound of the name.

10 Nov 2020: News: Margaret Atwood Poetry Book Release


Dearly: New Poems
  
In Dearly, Margaret Atwood’s first collection of poetry in over a decade, Atwood addresses themes such as love, loss, the passage of time, the nature of nature and - zombies. Her new poetry is introspective and personal in tone, but wide-ranging in topic. In poem after poem, she casts her unique imagination and unyielding, observant eye over the landscape of a life carefully and intuitively lived.

While many are familiar with Margaret Atwood’s fiction—including her groundbreaking and bestselling novels The Handmaid’s TaleThe TestamentsOryx and Crake, among others—she has, from the beginning of her career, been one of our most significant contemporary poets. And she is one of the very few writers equally accomplished in fiction and poetry.  This collection is a stunning achievement that will be appreciated by fans of her novels and poetry readers alike.
