Journal Issue
The Well and A Touch of Old New York give the issue a strong interest in shifting scenes and states of mind. Across 14 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. The movement from The Well to A Touch of Old New York gives the number a specific arc while leaving its voices formally distinct.
