Extremes & ModerationsA Historical Archive of Los Angeles and Southern California Poetry

THE TEXT/TECH PAPERS

Journal Issue

The second number looks more fully like a little magazine: Fred Gronberg appears as associate editor, a contents page maps the issue, and the editorial office is fixed at 2372 First Street, San Diego. Its poems range from John Drury's spare urban snow scene to Ruth Clay Price's pounding oil-field rhythms and Beatrice L. Morse's eucalyptus. The issue's geography is correspondingly broad, but its editorial center remains local and handmade. The named form Song sits beside shorter songs and descriptive lyrics, making the issue’s craft visible in rhyme, stanza, and carefully managed closure. That combination gives the San Diego number a regional modernity of its own: harbor, desert, city, and intimate address enter print through inherited forms being adjusted to Western subjects.
