“An instant Florida classic, full of wild, tender, and heartfelt poems and stories. From riding alligators through apocalyptic wastelands to cruising for lovers around water fountains in Miami malls to finding shelter from hurricanes in motel hallways, the pages of this anthology pulse with all the gorgeous, irrepressible life that exists across the state. All This Beauty is a tribute to anyone who has been shaped by the Sunshine State. I’ve been waiting for this book my whole life.”—Edgar Gomez, author of Alligator Tears“All This Beauty not only reflects the variety of communities in the state but also showcases writers at varying levels of their career and represents many ways of being Floridian. The generosity of this anthology is in the spirit of Florida’s literary table, which always has room for one more. Florida is an ever-evolving place, and All This Beauty brings its own diverse and vibrant version of the state to the scene.”—Chantel Acevedo, author of The Living Infinite“Striking in its range and diversity—of both forms and voices, experience and heritage. Moving fluidly from prose to poetry and back again, All This Beauty offers a kaleidoscopic overview of a literature that is equally vibrant and provocative. We are introduced to a panoply of voices and experiences, and to read them together is to see how they add up to something larger than any of them alone.”—David L. Ulin, author of The Lost Art of Reading: Books and Resistance in a Troubled Time
