Here in the northern latitudes we’re lazing about bracing ourselves for the dog days of summer. In my specific neck of the hemisphere we prepare for an onslaught of noise as the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally rumbles through, foreshadowing poems about our obsession with wheeled vehicles. If you’re craving quieter, untattooed poetic inspiration, look up to the Perseid meteor showers streaking through the night skies (and check for invisible aliens). Our poets shake off the heat and sloth of August to offer EDP readers refreshing interpretations on dreaming, driving, and the perennial problem of love. There’s an a pentimento, an epiphany, an enigma, and a rather unusual siren song to help you slide through the end of summer.
Think you have what it takes to read reams of poetry and concoct the occasional short, rambling editorial? Every Day Poets is looking for another slush reader. Contact the staff for an application form. Subject header suggestions: I Really, Really want to read slush for EDP, or alternatively, Pick Me! Pick Me!
See you in September with more great poems.
Constance, Slush Ninja
