Journal Issue
Flying Fish and Weapon and Shield give the issue a strong interest in seasonal change. Across 14 poems, rhyme often serves as a way of tightening turns of thought: brief lyrics sit beside longer stanzaic arguments, while the sequence of titles keeps the pacing exact. What stands out is those changes of scale, as a single image is often answered by a more extended poem on the next leaf. The movement from Flying Fish to Weapon and Shield gives the number a specific arc while leaving its voices formally distinct.
