            Each year special guests are invited to display works which express or interpret the summer theme. Guests' works usually include the poetry of a Guest Poet. Many thanks once again to last year's Guest Poet Gabriella Mariafiore Miotto. Some of the poems of past Guest Poets also may be viewed via the links for the reposted past summer websites which can be found on the Book Preview page. Please see the note below about the Guest Poet section for this summer's site.

A NOTE ON THE THEME AND POETRY SECTION FOR 2015. In the summer of 2014, the site revolved around World Fairs/World Expos, leading up to the opening of the 2015 Expo in Milan, Italy. The Expo opened in May and will remain open through October. You can read more about it in the special feature section in the Essay Archives or visit the Milan Expo website at www.expo2015.org. As part of last summer's essays, information was also presented on another celebration taking place this year, what the United Nations has designated as "The International Year of Light and Light-Based Technologies." This summer's site is an acknowledgement of that celebration. Why? According to the International Year of Light website (www.light2015.org), the initiative is intended to "highlight to the citizens of the world the importance of light and optical technologies in their lives, for their futures, and for the development of society." More about the theme can be found on the "News" page. But there is also another reason for the "light" in this year's theme. At the moment I am working on several other projects and am not sure how much time will be available to devote to the site. For now, all other special additions to the site, including guest artists, poetry and the essays, are temporarily on hold for 2015. If it works out that I will have the time to complete these portions of the site, they will be added as the summer progresses. More will be known as July nears. If need be, however, this summer's version might be a little "lite," so to say. You can find ongoing updates on the News page.
