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. Author of the award-winning book Normal They Napalm the Cottonfields, Pravda appeared on the Library of Congress podcast “The Poet and the Poem” with Maryland laureate Grace Cavalieri in 2023. Recent poems appear in Sand Hills Literary Review, Blue Mountain Review, Roanoke Review and Mid-Atlantic Review, Pravda teaches at Norfolk State University.
DL’s work appears in Midnight Mind Number Nine.
