Geez, it's been four months since I posted anything on my brand spankin' new blog. Four months I'd be happy to just completely wipe from my memory banks. There have been some bright points, though. Seeing poets Gianna Russo and Silvia Curbelo read again at David Audet's word fest Deep Carnivale. Discovering Emanuel Leto. His reading was so good, so evocative of Ybor's angsty history, it almost made me cry. In addition to being a spoken word star around these parts, he has been managing editor of the wonderful Cigar City magazine, but recently moved to a position as outreach program coordinator at the Tampa Bay History Center.
Ah, the other bright point? Growing these outrageous pineapples all over my yard.
I'll pull out of this malaise soon and start posting regularly about stuff you might not know about Florida and the Tampa Bay area.
