Self-Portrait As The "I" In Florida eBook

A love letter to Miami and a meditation on fatherhood, Self-Portrait as the “i” in Florida paints a vivid portrait of contemporary South Florida in all its contradictions and beauty.  With bold lyricism and tender observation, Cunningham’s second collection weaves together ecological and familial landscapes, capturing both the spectacle—burning sugarcane fields, snake farms, chaotic highways—and the daily rituals that bind a family: school drop-offs, sick days, and small kindnesses. Blending formalist and free verse, the book becomes both an inquiry into belonging and a celebration of the essential everyday moments that define a life. 

 At once panoramic and deeply personal, Cunningham writes with a documentarian’s eye and a father’s heart.
