Recurrence, Vol. IV, No. 15 (Winter 1954)

Journal Issue

Wind and Tumultuous Altars give the issue a strong interest in water and weather. 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 Wind to Tumultuous Altars gives the number a specific arc while leaving its voices formally distinct.
