Growing our Poems for Summer collection

We began our Summer Poems anthology at the solstice in June with classics including the anonymous medieval lyric “Sumer Is Icumen In” and poems by Thomas Nashe, William Blake, John Greenleaf Whittier, John Clare, Emily Dickinson, Amy Lowell and Gerard Manley Hopkins. Now as the end of summer approaches, we’re celebrating Labor Day with the addition of a select few of the new poems sent to us by contemporary poets in the past few months.

We are still accepting submissions for this seasonal anthology -- if you’ve written a good summer poem this year, send it in!
