Journal Issue
The issue takes its first formal cue from AIR by Jan Pallister. Named forms such as Love Song Number 26 sit beside looser lyrics, so the issue’s variety comes through line, stanza, and rhythm rather than editorial display. The movement toward TRANS-TIME gives the number a clear closing direction while leaving its voices distinct. Across 31 poems, formal interest lies in the changes of scale: short, image-driven pieces give way to longer fields of syntax, and each new opening resets the relation between line, breath, and page. The variety reflects the Venice workshop culture around the publication, where experimental practice was less a house style than a shared willingness to let voice, spacing, and sequence determine form.
