Sidney Bechet鈥檚 soprano sax in his 鈥39 recording of 鈥淪ummertime鈥;
the seventh inning stretch of a sultry, lazy August afternoon;
countryside in the Impressionism of Monet鈥檚 Poppies;
or, perhaps like Scout Finch, utterly
unimpressed by languid streets, the town square, of
Maycomb, Alabama, in Harper Lee鈥檚 To Kill a Mockingbird 鈥

Bio:
Glenn Arthur Sweazey鈥檚 writing blends prose and poetry to create narrative harmonies. Recognizing the importance of style and structure, his writing sometimes uses comparative 鈥渞elics of poetic structure,鈥 such as iambic pentameter, to evoke unique characteristics defining an ever-receding past. One past work includes a verse novel manuscript, The Lost Papers of Tom Thomson. He lives in Ottawa.
