WE CAN’T HELP IT IF WE’RE FROM FLORIDA - Burrow Press
Regular price $17.00As native Floridians, we are thrilled to share WE CAN'T HELP IT IF WE'RE FROM FLORIDA: New Stories From a Sinking Peninsula, an anthology of stories and essays.
Florida is more than just fodder for hard-boiled crime novels and zany farces. This anthology of new stories and essays challenges a star-studded line up of current and former Floridians to write about the state through a literary lens, though not without the requisite weirdness. The Florida within this book contains: lightning, oil spills, road rage, a lizard tied to a balloon, swimmers, sleepwalkers, characters that love Florida, characters that hate Florida, and at least three sinkholes. Featuring new writing by Lidia Yuknavitch, Sarah Gerard, Kristen Arnett, Laura van den Berg, Lindsay Hunter, John Brandon, Jaquira Díaz, Alissa Nutting and many more.
We are excited to introduce you to Casey Drake, a Veer artist and author based in Orlando. She weaves together a practice rooted in curiosity, community, and creativity. From experimenting across mediums to writing, illustrating, and self-publishing a children’s book through a fully funded Kickstarter, their work is driven by a love of turning ideas into something tangible and shareable.
