Description
"A moving love letter to Miami, lyrical and wise. Scott Cunningham gives us a new kind of memoir: a book-length investigation of the self that reads like an unforgettable poem."-Ana Menendez, author of The Apartment "A sharp, funny, curious, and compassionate look at the real Miami: full of artists and dreamers."-Ayse Papatya Bucak, author of The Trojan War Museum and Other Stories "South Florida is vividly felt and alive in this prose. Miami's history is delivered alongside and inside its literature and culture, and there's particular honor paid to Miami's often-ignored minority populations and their relationship to art and poetry. Poetry is also vividly felt as a cultural and living artifact in this book, which is a beautiful ode to both Miami and to poetry's place."-James Allen Hall, author of Romantic Comedy
