Byrd said that even before the appointment, he has had several opportunities to serve the city.\n\n\n\n“I was involved in a workshop called “Healing Words: Poetry for Cancer Patients” at Morton Plan Hospital, giving discussions and poetry workshops, as well as judging essay and poetry contests,” Byrd said. “I was also very happy to be asked to compose and read a poem for the\ndedication of the SPC-Clearwater Community library.”\n\n\n\n\n

Dr. Greg Byrd<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nByrd, who teaches writing, composition and literature, is a published author who has been nominated for a prestigious Pushcart Prize, and his poetry and prose have appeared widely, recently in\u00a0Apalachee Review<\/em> and forthcoming in\u00a0Saw Palm<\/em>. He is currently working on two World War I novels:\u00a0Where Shadow Meets Water<\/em>, about a pilot from Florida, and\u00a0Long Train Home to Scarborough<\/em>, about a reporter and a nurse. His poetry chapbook,\u00a0The Name of the God Who Speaks<\/em>, won the Robert Phillips Prize from Texas Review Press. He said that as a longtime Clearwater resident, he is honored by the appointment.\n\n“I hope that my experience in travel and teaching humanities will allow me to offer insight to the Board,” he said. “I want to connect the city to the talented professors and students in the arts, music and theatre programs at SPC who create art on a continual basis. I hope that anyone who has ideas for how to contribute to Clearwater’s public art will contact me so that I can convey those ideas to the rest of the board.”\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
