Journal Issue
Myron H. Broomell’s 3-poem run, from The Porch to In Time of Peace, gives this issue its clearest formal center. Across 15 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. Around that sequence, The Fisherman and On Crossing the Deserts of the Southwest widen the issue’s range without breaking its measured, poem-by-poem concentration.
