New Places to Stand pieces are up. Take a little tour! Start on Sanibel Island with three spectacularly good poems from William Greenway: "Blind Pass," "The Dharma Beach Bums," and "Fishing with Faust." Then cross the sound to Pine Island for Russell Shatto's Moment of Zen featuring a Calusa burial mound and Vivaldi, "A Pineland Sunset." Next, head up the coast to just north of Tampa Bay and catch Michael A. Quinn's "People Watching at Dunedin Causeway," which plays a little memory trick on the reader. Finally, jump over and up to the Castillo de San Marcos in St. Augustine and read Mary Anna Evans' "Grieving for the Timucua." Evans is a winner of the Florida Historical Society's Patrick D. Smith Florida Literature Award.
Enjoy your tour. Don't hesitate to click on other pushpins along the way. And look, the East Coast is empty between St. Augustine and Hollywood. So is most of the interior. We need people to go stand in these places (or sit, or lie down) and tell us what they're like. Summer assignment for everyone. Go to Places to Stand in Florida here! Comments are closed.
