MFA Alum Craig Ryan Published in Anthology of Florida Poets


Congratulations to MFA Creative Writing Alum and FAU Adjunct Instructor Craig Ryan on being selected for inclusion in the South Florida Poetry Journal's (SoFloPoJo) Anthology of Florida Poets, curated by Lenny DellaRocca.

An excerpt from Craig Ryan's poem "Home":

The stars are shining through my window—five o’clock in the morning
When the sky’s purple luminescence stains the blinds and
Makes you dream of beautiful houses and the ocean’s arms—that’s when
I hear a moan—not a girlish moan like your mother might make after
Sipping some good chicken noddle soup and complimenting your use
Of onions no, more of the dying moan your father makes when he sips black coffee one   [ . . . ]
