Journal Issue
Ada Davies’s 3-poem run, from Years after Thirty to Through the Windshield, gives this issue its clearest formal center. Most of the 14 poems are compact, but their free-verse lines vary the pace through clipped statements, longer syntactic runs, and small sequences that let one voice change pressure across several pages. What stands out is those changes of scale, as a single image is often answered by a more extended poem on the next leaf. Around that sequence, Vapor and The Nascent Deluge widen the issue’s range without breaking its measured, poem-by-poem concentration.
