An autobiographical series of poems and prose poems set in Titusville, Florida, where Jeff grew up. Through his poetry, we catch a glimpse of what life was like for a young boy who was raised by older parents in a retirement community where funerals were regular occasions, blacks and whites were segregated, tanks drove along the highway headed towards Cuba, and family dynamics were as comical as they were tragic. The Indian River, orange groves, the beaches, and the natural beauty of Merritt Island are present throughout this series of poems.
