Journal Issue
OF AN INSIGNIFICANT GROUND HOG'S DEATH by Edgar L. Biamonte establishes this number’s particular register. Named forms such as SONNET FOR TIME sit beside looser lyrics, so the issue’s variety comes through line, stanza, and rhythm rather than editorial display. The movement toward SONNET FOR TIME gives the number a clear closing direction while leaving its voices distinct. Across 24 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.
