Journal Issue
Advent and Mutation give the issue a strong interest in natural observation. 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 Advent to Mutation gives the number a specific arc while leaving its voices formally distinct.
