My take of the vast suburban disaster collectively known as "New Tampa." Through original essays, articles, business and community reviews I aspire to understand my hometown and dish-out my reflections accordingly. Exposés on local teen activity, drug use, and effects of mindless consumerism all packaged as literary abuse.

Iconoclastic

"He is so firmly and avowedly fixed in an attitude of revolt against the current notion of decency and dignity and social duty that to beg of him to be a little more decent, to fly a little less persistently and gleefully to the animal side of human nature, is simply to beg him to be something different from Mr. Swinburne."

There lived a singer in France of old
By the tideless dolorous midland sea.
In a land of sand and ruin and gold
here shone one woman, and none but she.
