I made a mini doc about my time at the Great Florida Bigfoot Conference. It gives —as many reels do—big “Victor Takes a Trip” from Rules of Attraction (2002)

Poet @AlexGurtis evokes the anxieties of living in Florida during a time of ecological and economic uncertainty through imagism, prose poetry, and haibun in his incredible new chapbook! @BurrowPress , @TylerMTG , and others get some shout-outs, too!

Honored SHINE St. Petersburg Mural Festival asked me to write a poem for MURALS in MIND. "Doing My Best to Artistically Describe this Impending Shade of Blue" is inspired by a mural by Rhys Meatyard.

This poem is a shuffleboard, a form I invented based on Florida’s history with the game. The form’s three stanzas represent the court’s triangle, and each stanza consists of seven lines with a syllable pattern of 10, 8, 8, 7, 7, 10, and 10 to match the scoring areas.
