As in the summer of 2008, this summer sees an issue in three parts: June, July, and August. You will find impressive ghazals in June and July, as well as six qasîdas in the August issue. Please see the editor's comments at the foot of each issue for specific information and comment. To get these poems online without any more delay than necesary, I have kept the editor's comments on each issue to a minimum. If you wish to make a public comment about any of the poems in these issues, go to my blog and add your comment to the "Summer 2009" entry/
Thank you for your patience in waiting for these issues; special thanks go to the poets who all too often end up waiting on the schedules (if not whims!) of editors. Enjoy!
