Light Over Islands
Key West Stories
Open Boat Editions · 2024
Stories gathered over thirty years in Key West: quarrels and reconciliations, storms and crossings, a Christmas party beneath a mango tree, and ordinary lives transformed by the island’s extraordinary light.
“The ‘beauty’ is just the light, or something equally perverse.”
Elizabeth Bishop, letter to Robert Lowell, 1 January 1948
