Poetry, chapbook, 24 pages, from Bottlecap Features. Florida’s Projects is a collection of poetry that takes root in Florida’s misunderstood underbelly. It is about growing up in a place of disreality, becoming who you are in a place inextricably linked to escapist narratives of the tourist while one’s feet are locked in its sandy soil. It considers the inverse of logic that accompanies dream-making schemes being in your backyard; what do you ask for as a child if not a trip to Disney World? The poems stretch through conversations and locations of realness, while the weight of illusion presses upon them. This collection asks how we see our hometowns as locations of destination and intense intimacy.
