Kristen Arnett: "Florida is no place for those who want to view it from a safe distance. This state is invasive, creeping, needy. Hardy and scrabbling, our peninsula's sour with poison and rot and choking vines. You fight for the right to live in its greenery, and once you've finally carved out a space, you stay tangled in the wreck. Once you've left, there’s no coming back. The best you can do is hack out a different life somewhere else. This place isn't yours to write about. It's barely mine."
