THE TEXT/TECH PAPERS

Journal Issue

Two in a Maze and Object In The Dark give the issue a strong interest in water and weather. Across 15 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 Two in a Maze to Object In The Dark gives the number a specific arc while leaving its voices formally distinct.
