Journal Issue
The July number is the most explicitly regional issue so far. Ben Field opens with 'Carriso Gorge,' a poem of engineering forced through San Diego's burned mountains; Samuel M. Sargent, Jr., follows with a lagoon, and E. Richard Shipp turns westward again. Against those landscapes, Charles Howard Marsh, Lilian White Spencer, William Griffith, and Howard McKinley Corning supply candlelight, cathedral glass, classical figures, and city fragments. The poems work through compact stanzas, song structures, and descriptive miniatures; shifts in rhythm and closure distinguish voices that otherwise share a concise magazine scale. 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.
