Burning Summer
Record fires are sweeping throug the Western United States.
National political conventions are failing to set fire to
anyone but the party faithful. And so it goes.
It's been a cool summer in New England, a little warmer
lately.
Someday I'll think of something better to write here
than the weather report!
Anyway, good poems this month, and a really excellent
piece under "Featured Artist Review". Enjoy.
