There are wonderful gems of poetry in each issue, and the Summer 2012 issue is no exception. I just finished making my way through the issue, and wanted to briefly blog about it &#8211; there are some really delicious poems there. <\/p>\n<p>The only poets I recognised were Sonya Taaffe (who I should read more of!) and Adrienne J. Odasso (whose work I really enjoy). But the other poets in the Summer issue really impressed me, too. The issue read as a really luscious whole, perfect for summer&#8217;s heat (not that we&#8217;ve had too much of that here in Helsinki&#8230;). <\/p>\n<p>I especially loved the earthy magic of Ruby Sara&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.goblinfruit.net\/2012\/summer\/poems\/?poem=jacksandtoms\">Jacks and Toms<\/a>. Such word-weaving! Other favourites include <a href=\"http:\/\/www.goblinfruit.net\/2012\/summer\/poems\/?poem=dovercrossing\">Dover Crossing<\/a> by Edgar Mason (reminds me of the bittersweet time we crossed the Channel when my family moved to Finland in &#8217;96); <a href=\"http:\/\/www.goblinfruit.net\/2012\/summer\/poems\/?poem=tittot\">Tit Tot<\/a> by Catt Kingsgrave (it&#8217;s like a riotous Early Modern garden, wonderful words); <a href=\"http:\/\/www.goblinfruit.net\/2012\/summer\/poems\/?poem=hurricaneophelia\">Hurricane Ophelia<\/a> by Melissa Frederick (formal poetry can have such drive and intensity when you do it well); <a href=\"http:\/\/www.goblinfruit.net\/2012\/summer\/poems\/?poem=whattheycalledme\">What They Called Me<\/a> by Adrienne J. Odasso (her words make such sad, beautiful images); and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.goblinfruit.net\/2012\/summer\/poems\/?poem=trumpetvine\">Trumpet Vine Love Song<\/a> by Francesca Forrest (such a sensual, buzzing summer&#8217;s day of a poem). <\/p>\n<p>Sometimes I wonder why I write poetry. Then I read poems like these, and remember again. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Goblin Fruit never fails to delight me.
