Editors’ Note:
We have passed the half-decade mark, and to celebrate this landmark, the
Associate Editors decided to provide a theme around which to base our
sixth issue: Imagism. We chose Imagism because, quite simply, Florida
and Imagism go together like peanut butter and chocolate. From the
obvious Key West connection to lesser-known connections (such as you’ll
read in “Shell Shocked: An Imagist on Casey Key”), Florida has served as
a point of inspiration to many Imagists, and Florida English
seeks to honor that spirit.
The year 2007
also marked another important milestone: a unique gathering of
prominent, even legendary, scholars in Dorf Tirol, northern Italy who
provided a framework for some great discussions of imagists and their
continued contributions to literature. Back in the U.S., as we began a
discussion with H.R. Stoneback, we thought we might be fortunate enough
to have a few of these prominent scholars contribute work for the issue.
What happened next is still beyond what we could have expected: Stoney
agreed to let us publish the proceedings from the conference.
What you hold
in your hands is our proudest accomplishment: a wonderful blend of
creative and critical work by local, national, and international
scholars. Additionally, many loyal readers may have noticed other
changes, all related to growth. We have grown this issue to nearly 150
pages; we have grown the size slightly to a 6x9 format; and what is not
immediately evident is that our reputation continues to grow in the
literary community. We have received requests for copies of Florida
English from renowned university libraries. We are listed on
WorldCat. And, with our 501 (c) (3) status and ISSN number, we are
available to an increasing number of readers.
The front cover, a 9”x11” graphite, colored pencil,
gesso, oil
on paper by Joe
Loccisano, is titled “Grande Deluge.”
