Britton Hill
Elevation 345 ft.
County Road 285 swoops
Gently up between layers of
Hickories. A sign reads Lakewood
Park, and a quiet parking lot.
Near trails the marble marker
Rising three feet from the ground reads
Britton Hill, Florida’s Highest Point.
Did they figure in the plaque height?
What is there left to say about Marc Janssen, other than he should eat more vegetables? Maybe his verse can be found scattered around the world in places like Pinyon, Orbis, Pure Slush, Cirque Journal, Two Thirds North and Poetry Salzburg, also in his book November Reconsidered and his recent book collaboration A Resurrection of Trees. Janssen coordinates the Salem Poetry Project – a weekly reading, the occasionally occurring Salem Poetry Festival and keeps getting nominated for Oregon Poet Laurate. marcjanssenpoet.com
