DL Pravda tries to keep it together either by jamming distorted reverb juice in his ears or by driving to the country and disappearing into the woodsfarm dimension. Recent poetry appears in Blue Collar Review, Bookends Review, Poetry Quarterly, Rockvale Review and Spring Hills Review. His book Normal They Napalm the Cottonfields is a past winner of the Dogfish Head Poetry Prize. Pravda teaches at Norfolk State University.
