Summer Journal, Editor’s Introduction
If ever there were a summer where the sun mocks, it’s this. Entangled in an election year, with race issues in the foreground and virus-impacted to varying degrees, our world seems to contrast images of children in bright suits on a splash pad or chairs rocking on a porch at sunset.
