Chameleon Chimera: An Anthology of Florida Poets
edited by Lenny DellaRocca, Yael Aldana, and Madison Whatley
Chameleon Chimera: An Anthology of Florida Poets is a unique collection of Florida poetry curated by Lenny DellaRocca. Each poet was invited to contribute and then nominated another poet. This collection traces a geographic line through Florida neighborhoods from Miami to Hollywood, to Surfside, to Saint Petersburg, to Jacksonville, to Tampa, to Palm Beach, to Apalachicola, and beyond. The collection touches on eclectic subjects from Florida man, climate change, cigars smoked on Calle Ocho to sacred lemons. The collection includes some of the best American poets of our generation, including Richard Blanco, Denise Duhamel, Tyler Gillespie, Campbell McGrath, Geoffrey Philp, Maureen Seaton, Jessica Q. Stark, and Julie Marie Wade.
Available through Tombolo Books, Barnes & Noble, and Books & Books.
The Bimbo Anthology
edited by Yael Aldana and Madison Whatley
The Bimbo Anthology is a feminist project that reclaims the term "Bimbo." Empowering Bimbos, Himbos, and Thembos everywhere, this collection dives into the modern mess of living, relationships, fourth-wave feminism, intersectionality, class, self-image/self-love, and nostalgia with a glossy attitude. This anthology celebrates dirty-scary beauty, intelligence, and radical kindness. It stylishly resists stereotypes. Featuring a folio by Jennifer Maritza McCauley.
Available through Tombolo Books, Barnes & Noble, and Books & Books.
