Journal Issue
Vent de Mai and Femme Immolée give the issue a strong interest in water and weather. Across 20 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 Vent de Mai to Femme Immolée gives the number a specific arc while leaving its voices formally distinct.
