About the Book

This anthology is just a sampling of the diverse talent pool of poets in Broward County. When you think literature, especially poetry, Broward may not pop to mind. New York and Chicago easily come to mind as Poetry Foundation, a formidable poetry establishment, is located in Chicago and New York is most noted for the Harlem Renaissance, Beat Poets and the New York School. Broward, the county between Miami-Dade and West Palm Beach, also has a poetry scene with readings, slams and other spoken word events. This anthology shares a slice of life of the poets and their poems. The poets are selected from those who attended poetry reading in Fort Lauderdale at the courtyard of Savor Cinema, formerly known as Cinema Paradiso. What is special about this anthology is that the selections are diverse as each poet brings their own style and influences from prose poems to traditional poems, from free verse to a rhyming scheme and from academia to urban.
