 <\/p>\n

Anne Carson, The Art of Poetry No. 88<\/a>
\nIssue no. 171 (Fall 2004)<\/em><\/p>\n

I think a poem, when it works, is an action of the mind captured on a page, and the reader, when he engages it, has to enter into that action. His mind repeats that action and travels again through the action, but it is a movement of yourself through a thought, through an activity of thinking, so by the time you get to the end you\u2019re different than you were at the beginning and you feel that difference.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Summer Storms<\/a>
\nBy Larry Woiwode
\nIssue no. 114 (Spring 1990)<\/em><\/p>\n

What is so pernicious about summer storms is the resistance in our nature to admit them. We acknowledge the possibility of storms in the spring, yes, when rain on the roof can assume the sound of a waterfall; or in the winter, with a howling wind accompanying drifting snow; or even in the fall, when heavy bodied rain tears off the last of the leaves and pastes them over spearing stubble. But summer is the season we\u2019re to be let off, to be free of this, as we expect, after the ingrained conditioning of years in school, to be freed from all our onerous chores.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Camp Counselor, After One Summer\u2019s Absence<\/a>
\nBy Spring Melody Berman
\nIssue no. 170 (Summer 2004)<\/em><\/p>\n

These are the same stairs, unnoticed, essential,
\nsubmerged in shadow bath; and that is the same
\nqueen\u2019s-blood carpet, embracing the floor and chairs
\nin a sprawl of affection. The same immortal room,
\nmonth after year and decade after lifetime
\n(boiled in memory if demolished in structure),
\nhome to shifting summer crowds and swelling now,
\nnow with delirious grins and squealing cries
\nfrom an Athens of children \u2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
