This month’s Versed in Florida is with Lola Haskins of Gainesville. Her work has appeared in The Atlantic, The Christian Science Monitor, The London Review of Books, and she’s been broadcast on both NPR and the BBC. She’s won numerous poetry prizes, was included in Billy Collins’ 180 project and was featured by Ted Kooser and Garrison Keillor. She has published 14 collections, most recently How Small, Confronting Morning, poetry about inland Florida. She tells WGCU’s Amy Tardif that’s where this month’s poem is from.
