SUMMARY:In Conversation: The Soul of the Highwaymen
DESCRIPTION:Gary Monroe’s Alfred Hair: Heart of the Highwaymen is a long-awaited testament to the life and work of the man and artist who was the driving force of the Florida Highwaymen\, a group of young Black artists who painted their way out of the despair awaiting them in the citrus groves and packing houses of 1950s Florida. He and Joanna Robotham\, curator of modern and contemporary art at the Tampa Museum of Art\, share their thoughts on the Highwaymen canon. \nSponsored by\n \n

SUMMARY:In Conversation: Hot Springs Before Hot Pants
DESCRIPTION:In Florida’s Healing Waters: Gilded Age Mineral Springs\, Seaside Resorts\, and Health Spas\, Rick Kilby explores the Victorian belief that water promoted healing and rehabilitation\, and a little-known time in Florida history – well before South Beach became an international getaway for cocktails and clubbing – when tourists poured into the state in search of good health\, rather than a good time. Speaking with him is Joy Wallace Dickinson\, who has written hundreds of “Florida Flashback” features in the Orlando Sentinel chronicling Central Florida’s past\, and is the author of several books\, including Remembering Orlando: Tales from Elvis to Disney. \nSponsored by

SUMMARY:Jubi Arriola-Headley: A Reading From original kink
DESCRIPTION:In original kink\, Jubi Arriola-Headley explores kink as mythscape of promised pleasure\, lush and lustral\, kink as Godzilla’s desire for softness and the boy gone “starburst\,” kink as “the sun-soaked / surface of impossible kick\,” as “something loose enough / to dance in.” At once soliloquy\, praise song\, and injunction\, original kink divines the brutal offices and beauteous comforts of syntax\, street corners\, and superheroes as sites for Black and queer (un)becomings. Accompanied by Eve\, Isaac Newton\, and a dizzying cast of daddies\, Arriola-Headley writes into pleasure’s beyond\, crafting poems that “glutton at spring’s source\, / ever lovedrunk on / the insistent gush” of the world and create a dazzling\, multiple “we.” \nSponsored by:

SUMMARY:Panel: Perilous Schemes\, Dangerous Skies
DESCRIPTION:Grades 9 – 12 \nModerated by Ismery Pavon\, program coordinator at Miami Book Fair. \nIn Jeff VanderMeer’s A Peculiar Peril\, Jonathan Lambshead stands to inherit his deceased grandfather’s overstuffed mansion – a veritable cabinet of curiosities – once he and two schoolmates catalog its contents. But the three soon discover that the house is filled with far more than just oddities: It holds clues linking to an alt-Earth called Aurora\, where the notorious English occultist Aleister Crowley has stormed back to life on a magic-fueled rampage across a surreal\, through-the-looking-glass version of Europe replete with talking animals (and vegetables). \nIn Gold Wings Rising\, the final installment of Alex London‘s Skybound Saga\, Kylee and Brysen must fight for their lives and their humanity. The war on the ground has ended\, but the war with the sky has just begun. While the humans fly familiar circles around each other\, the ghost eagles create schemes far greater and more terrible than either Kylee or Brysen could have imagined. Now\, the tug-of-war between love and power begins to fray\, threatening bonds of siblinghood and humanity alike.

SUMMARY:In Conversation: A Journey to the Heart of Florida
DESCRIPTION:Event starts Sunday\, November 15 at 5:30 p.m. \nIn 2016\, Kent Russell – restless and thirsting for adventure – embarked on an odyssey-like trek throughout Florida\, an experience he wryly chronicled across the pages of In the Land of Good Living: A Journey to the Heart of Florida\, a memoir that’s equal parts Jack Kerouac\, kamikaze travelogue\, and historical tome. It’s a vivid\, encyclopedic\, erudite\, ferociously irreverent and deeply ambivalent love letter to Russell’s home state\, and he’s revisiting his (mis)adventures with Chris Beha\, author of The Index of Self-Destructive Acts and executive editor of Harper’s Magazine. \nSponsored by

SUMMARY:In Conversation: Symbiosis: When Ocean Meets Asphalt
DESCRIPTION:Join multidisciplinary artist Gustavo Oviedo and Alan Ket\, co-founder and curator of the Museum of Graffiti\, as they discuss “Symbiosis\,” Oviedo’s visually arresting exhibition that reflects a highly personal\, self-taught style of art. \nExploring the relationship between the bustle of Miami’s vibrant metropolitan streets and the tranquility of Biscayne Bay’s aquatic life\, currents\, and marine dystopia\, Oviedo’s pieces includes large paintings of loose sea-like forms\, mixed media collages\, and visual representations of otherworldliness devoid of human language or graffiti letters. His palette is as colorful as the brightest coral reefs dipped in fluorescent pigments\, and his ocean discoveries of shipwrecks\, corals\, and found pieces of pollution give power to his creative output and to a body of work that is rooted in marine life – and the impact of the streets of Miami he once prolifically tagged. The artist’s offerings convey the beauty of our waters\, but scream out that he is not naïve to the recurring problem of humankind’s disrespect for our natural resources. \nOviedo’s book shares its name with the exhibition\, and includes images from across his entire catalog of work inspired by Biscayne Bay. Through his ongoing 131 Projects\, the artist created the graphic identity of Miami Book Fair Online’s new multimedia initiative\, Here in Florida. \nSponsored by
