Summer and Smoke is a two-part, thirteen-scene play by Tennessee Williams, originally titled Chart of Anatomy when Williams began work on it in 1945. In 1964, Williams revised the play as The Eccentricities of a Nightingale. The phrase "summer and smoke," likely comes from the Hart Crane poem, "Emblems of Conduct", in the 1926 collection, White Buildings.
