Issue of Summer, 2009

  • New poets, new poems.

    We are changing to quarterly publication.

    Due to the quantity of excellent poetry being submitted to us for publication, we have decided to changeover from a biannual format to a quarterly publication schedule. This will enable us to ensure a smoother flow of poetry from submission to publication, while keeping the volume of work to be done to a reasonable level.

    Some of these poets have had to wait awhile. Instead of just being added to the Winter/Spring issue, they will see the light of day in our new Summer Quarter edition. Here we present you with several new poets of note.

    First though, let's celebrate the arrival of Summer with a brief trip down that road not taken to enjoy a small sample of formal poetry from an earlier day and a different background, two poems by Scotland's favorite son poet, Robert Burns. I hope you'll na' gi' lost in'na Gaelic brogue.


  • Robert Burns (1759-1796)
