The ninth edition of Tigertail’s annual poetry publication, edited by Lynne Barrett moves into prose to explore the edges and overlaps between lyrical and narrative approaches. Fifty-four authors with connections to Florida contribute prose poetry, flash fiction, and flash nonfiction. For each piece, editor Lynne Barrett set a maximum word count of 305—a number representing the original South Florida area code as well as the limits of a single page—and the result is an exuberant collection that captures both scintillant moments and the faceted turnings of memory.
