Friends, I remember years ago learning that the Greek root of anthology is a “bouquet or garland of flowers.” Isn’t that a beautiful way of looking at it—a single collection of work by multiple writers as something sweet and floral?

ALL THIS BEAUTY: AN ANTHOLOGY OF CONTEMPORARY FLORIDA WRITERS (University Press of Florida, March 2027), edited by P. Scott Cunningham and Kristen Arnett, has entered its pre-order period, and the first details about the book have now been released , including the featured writers (flowers) included therein!

After 14+ years living in South Florida, I finally *feel* like a Florida writer, and I’m ecstatic to see this table of contents, which includes so many people I’ve met (and taught) since moving here.

Special shoutout to my creative writing colleague at FIU, Campbell McGrath, and all the graduates of our MFA program included here: Elisa Albo, Amelia Badri, Marci Calabretta Cancio-Bello, Anjanette Delgado, Hector Duarte, Patricia Engel, Ariel Francisco, Alexandra Lytton Regalado, Trey Rhone, Ranijun Ruado, Emma Trelles, and Yael Valencia Aldana. Another cheer for Caridad Moro-Gronlier, who completed her MA in Literature at FIU, and another for Isabella Marie Garcia, my former undergraduate student. And those are just the FIU connections I see! (Please forgive any oversights!)

Three languages, three remarkable poets, and an evening celebrating the magic of translation.

Last night, we welcomed P. Scott Cunningham, Frank Báez, and Pittburgh Arts & Lectures’s own Sony Ton-Aimé for a special Poets Aloud event celebrating international poetry. Each poem was read in Haitian Creole, Spanish, and English, offering audiences the chance to experience the same words through different languages, rhythms, and voices.

It was a beautiful reminder that while language may shape how we experience poetry, its power to move and connect us knows no borders.

Thank you to our poets and everyone who joined us for this unforgettable evening!

Dear Friends,

In 2014, I attended a bi-lingual poetry reading that Frank Baez from the Dominican Republic and Scott P. Cunningham from Miami gave at Kent State University’s Wick Poetry Center. I was mesmerized.

After the reading, I went to them and told them that, not only did I want to be their friend, which we have been since, but I wanted to read with them one day. It has taken us 12 years for all of us to have new books out to make it happen.

I could not be prouder to announce that on October 15th, all three of us will read poems by one another in our mother’s tongues; English, Haitian Creole, and Spanish. It will be a celebration of poetry and language like you have never seen.

Join us! It’s free! Save your seat at our link in bio.
