The Way Summer Ends

The Way Summer Ends, Thomas MitchellΓÇÖs new full-length book of poems, takes us to places imagined and unimagined, on a quiet, powerful journey characterized by the poetΓÇÖs deftness of craft, strong imagery, and lyricism. These poems examine everyday people, places, and situations, where the reader discovers their uniqueness in ΓÇ£the dark moon shimmering in an empty whiskey glass,ΓÇ¥ ΓÇ£an empty chair, a dismantled clock, itΓÇÖs wheels and teeth forever disconnected,ΓÇ¥ or a soldier ΓÇ£listening to the song of an automatic, the staccato of a submachine gun." The authorΓÇÖs unwavering voiceΓÇöconfident, generous, and authenticΓÇöguides us every step of the way, and we understand this experience will endure with us.
