Detail from the cover art of issue no. 244: Emilie Louise Gossiaux, London with Ribbon, 2022, ballpoint pen on paper.<\/p><\/div>\n

There\u2019s a thrill of eros to many summer poems. Like in those late-eighties teen movies\u2014Dirty Dancing<\/em>,\u00a0Say Anything<\/em>,\u00a0One Crazy Summer<\/em>\u2014you never know when you\u2019ll see some skin. And so it goes in our new\u00a0Summer issue<\/a>. In Jessica Laser\u2019s dreamy, autobiographical remembrance \u201cKings<\/a>,\u201d the poet recalls a drinking game she used to play in high school on the shore of Lake Michigan over summer vacations:<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u2026 <\/span>You never knew
\nwhether it would be strip or not, so you always
\nconsidered wearing layers. It was summer.
\nSometimes you\u2019d get pretty naked
\nbut it wasn\u2019t pushy. You could take off
\none sock at a time.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Is that easygoing, one-sock-at-a-time feeling what defines the summer fling? Maybe that\u2019s just how objects appear in the rearview mirror; even the most operatic affairs can seem a little comical in retrospect. In his poem \u201cArmed Cavalier<\/a>,\u201d Richie Hofmann captures the hothouse kind of summer romance, when two lovers lock themselves away \u201cfor a whole weekend \/ and not eat or drink.\u201d I love the wry look he casts over his shoulder at the end of these lines:<\/p>\n

Stars, slow traffic,<\/p>\n

the summer I wished you loved me<\/p>\n

enough to kill me,<\/p>\n

but not really.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you\u2019re curious to learn more about the story behind \u201cArmed Cavalier,\u201d check out our online Making of a Poem series\u00a0feature<\/a>\u00a0on his poem this month. Leopoldine Core, whose poem \u201cEx-Stewardess<\/a>\u201d appears in this issue,\u00a0recently contributed<\/a>\u00a0to the series, too\u2014and to my summer playlist. \u201cI was listening to Tangerine Dream, Ryuichi Sakamoto, \u2018Dance II\u2019 by Discovery Zone, and this mournful song \u2018Believe Me, If All Those Endearing Young Charms,\u2019 performed by Mia Farrow in\u00a0The Muppets Valentine Show<\/em>\u00a0in 1974,\u201d Core recalls. I\u2019m listening to Farrow\u2019s\u00a0Muppets Show<\/em> rendition as I write this, and Core\u2019s right, she\u00a0does<\/em>\u00a0sound \u201ca little like Nico.\u201d<\/p>\n

They say that on hot summer days in the nation\u2019s capital, Richard Nixon would light a roaring blaze in the fireplace of his White House study, crank the air conditioning up to full blast, put on a little Mantovani, and gaze out the window at the Washington Monument. This might be one of the few things Nixon and I have in common; while my fellow Americans are out in droves worshipping the sun, I like nothing more than to retreat to my home office and, thermostat set to eco mode, leaf through poems about summer. In this issue\u2019s pages, fellow seasonal voyeurs will find that Lewis Meyers\u2019s \u201cSummer Letters<\/a>\u201d delivers \u201cthe black raspberry\u2019s passion for a drop of sunlight\u201d without any need for sunscreen. \u201cSummer Letters\u201d marks the late Meyers\u2019s return to our pages after more than a half century; his last poem in the magazine, \u201cGoing to Chicago,\u201d was published in a 1965 issue, under the Johnson administration. We\u2019re grateful to Meyers\u2019s widow, Diana, and to the poet Ellen Dor\u00e9 Watson, for sharing the poem with us.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Sharon Olds muses on her quest to find a better language for sex in her\u00a0Art of Poetry<\/a>\u00a0interview, and John Keene, in his\u00a0Art of Fiction<\/a>\u00a0interview, observes that Portuguese is better suited to that task than English. It should also be said that, although we tried our best, not every poem in this issue is about summer, sex, or summer sex. You\u2019ll also find a\u00a0philosophical poem about cats<\/a>\u00a0by the great Argentinian writer Mirta Rosenberg, translated from the Spanish by Yaki Setton and Sergio Waisman; an\u00a0excerpt<\/a>\u00a0from Imani Elizabeth Jackson\u2019s expansive minimalist sequence \u201cFlag\u201d; and a\u00a0poetic noir\u00a0<\/a>set in the Antwerp of Jonathan Thirkield\u2019s singular imagination. Bon voyage, and happy reading.<\/p>\n
