Shape the manuscript.
Group poems into sequences and track which pieces are drafted, cut, placed, or waiting.

Know where each poem is out, what rights are offered, and what has already appeared.

01 - The desk
A small daily practice with a long memory.
Quilvo handles the practical record around a poem: where it belongs, when it moved, and whether today was a drafting day, a revision day, or a reading day.
