is not from outer space or Kansas. His favorite word is ham and he loves grilled squid. His first book, Almost Dorothy (Marsh Hawk Press, 2010) won the Marsh Hawk Press Poetry Prize. Forrest Gander, writes, “Almost Dorothy is the red-headed stepchild of Antony (without the Johnsons) and Jean Cocteau. Infusing poetry with theater, Neil de la Flor is at once bitingly original, funny, and uncompromising."
Neil also co-authored, with Maureen Seaton, Sinead O’Connor and Her Coat of a Thousand Bluebirds (Firewheel Editions), winner of the 2010 Sentence Book Award. He also co-authored, with Maureen Seaton and Kristine Snodgrass, Facial Geometry (NeoPepper Press), a poetry chapbook of triads.
His literary work, both solo and collaborative, has appeared or in Hayden’s Ferry Review, Barrow Street, Hobart Pulp, 42opus, Sentence, Pank, Prairie Schooner, Indiana Review, Court Green and other fabulous journals. Neil lives in Miami and teaches at Miami Dade College, Nova Southeastern University, Barry University and anywhere they’ll hire him. He also works as a freelance journalist for the Knight Arts and ArtBurst Miami. Contact him via email or Facebook.
