You’ve seen Blackbird, haven’t you? Currently, the magazine is featuring an interesting Conversation with Spencer Reece. Have a listen. And while you’re there, take a look at his poem Florida Ghazals. Here are the opening lines:

Down here, the silence of the sea and the silence of the swamp seep into our
muscles.
