I’m happy to share that my poem “Hurricane Season” won the Orlando History Center’s Accidental Historian Poetry Contest.
The poem is part of the Accidental Historian exhibit, which is based on the premise that people who document the world around them can accidentally become historians. The exhibit will be open through Jan. 19, 2020.
I’ll read “Hurricane Season” at the History Center’s Historically Poetic reading on Thursday, Nov. 7, at 6 p.m. The lovely Susan Lilley, Orlando’s poet laureate, will share some of her gems about Florida, and the free exhibit will be open before and after the reading. Visitors can create 19th-century “tweets” and step into a larger-than-life, Instagrammable photo station.
The Orlando History Center is at 65. E. Central Blvd.
Thursday, Nov. 7, 6 p.m.
