Alongside Key West's tradition of acclaimed writers-in-residence like Elizabeth Bishop and Wallace Stevens lies the output of obscure authors whose work met the world through small press and self-publishing ventures. We found this autographed copy of Hildegard Ott Russell's 1964 <em>Spanish Limes an' I got 'em Sweet</em> at Bargain Books on Truman Avenue about two years ago. The collection of 100 poems appears to have brought together more than 30 years of Russell's previously published and new work. It includes a foreword by Florida Poet Laureate Vivian Yeiser Laramore Rader and six silhouette cuttings by Phoebe Hazelwood Morse.
