Learn more about how Donna was inspired to write her poem, "The Man in the Mangroves Counts to Sleep" here.

 Frank Lindamood lives in the booger woods near Sopchoppy, Florida, in a cabin called "rustic" by charitable and tolerant friends. Unlike The Man in the Mangroves, he is not homeless. Nor is he particularly good at math. But like the "Man", he is retired--- after nearly fifty years in the workforce as a carpenter and theatre technician, he saw first hand the futility of honest work.

He has rightfully been accused of "playing the banjo before decent folk with no warning". He can be reached by wire through the Bradwell Bay office.
