The Summer Issue of Scapegoat Review is filled with captivating and unique work. Summer, a time of long days and short nights, a time of lush flowers, trees heavy bearing fruit, gardens full of growth; frenzied in their collage of colors, flavors, and textures. Many thanks to the writers who fill this issue.

Here is one of my favorite poems about summer—

Summer Song

William Carlos Williams

Wanderer moon

smiling a

faintly ironical smile

at this

brilliant, dew-moistened

summer morning,—

a detached

sleepily indifferent

smile, a

wanderer's smile,—

if I should

buy a shirt

your color and

put on a necktie

sky-blue

where would they carry me?
