songs for summer nights

In his sophomore collection for Pumpkin Boy Press, poet Michael Mahin evokes the fragile magic of those long, humid, hazy summer nights. By turns sensual, sanguine, and bittersweet, this collection of original poetry serves as a loving tribute to summer and the season's many mysteries, as well as a tender exploration of "love" in its varied forms - romantic, platonic, familial, etc. Boasting gorgeous illustrations by artist Cat Beaudoin, this stunning set of "love songs" is the perfect companion for those sticky, sometimes melancholy, seemingly endless June, July and August nights.
