A reading at the Key West Literary Seminar, January, 2008


Click here to listen to a reading of some Key West-related poems, as well as a brief excerpt from DOG YEARS, recorded in Florida in January of this year. One of the poems, "Sea Grape Valentine," examines the leaf of a sea grape, pictured above -- a strange tropical tree whose leaves turn red and fall all the time, so that for them it's always summer, and always fall.

I was at the Key West Lit Seminar this year, and I have to say-- you gave one hell of a keynote!
