The writer believes strongly in the ability to use words to persuade the reader, to evoke emotions, to extract humor, and to entertain. Summer Home Review brings this revelation to anyone who will read and listen. Berred Ouellette, .the place that all poets strive to reach, where poems just are, without explanation. Preston H. Hood, III Octavio Paz has said the poem--the full poem--is a circle one half of which the reader creates. What I think he means by this is that the poem that appears in print gets the chance to speak to strangers, and strangers get the chance to speak with it. A poem sometimes needs to sit inside the desk drawer, but sooner or later every poem wants to get out and walk around, to live and breathe in the world. A good literary magazine never forgets that its greatest achievement is in helping that poem live among us. Maybe the poem is immortal. Maybe not. What counts is that it gets its first chance at a life beyond the confines of the writer. Fred Marchant This anthology is more than a gathering of poems, prose, play, and translations. Summer Home Review Volume II is a convergence of paths: a literary labyrinth that honors the included writers and their mentors. Like travelers in a labyrinth, the poets included in SHR II have reached the center and with the publication of their work are making their way back to the beginning. This book begins for you at the center. If you choose, you may walk with them. Between the lines they have left for you sacred gifts. Enjoy the journey. JMLoring
