Journal Issue
William Millett’s 3-poem run, from Rebirth to Silently They Invade, 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, Inland Sea and Of the Residue widen the issue’s range without breaking its measured, poem-by-poem concentration.
