SUMMARY:Jesse Millner: A Reading From Memory’s Blue Sedan
DESCRIPTION:At a time in which many poems feel like sophisticated parlor games\, Memory’s Blue Sedan by Jesse Millner brings us back to the ground\, the soil of true poetry\, in which living things grow and flourish in all their various complexities. His haunted and haunting poems are awesome in their commingling of autobiography\, history\, and references to the customs and beliefs in which his mind and heart came to consciousness. Many of the poems in this book feel like living beings\, organic in their form and painfully honest in their revelations. Memory’s Blue Sedan speaks to both the heart and to the mind – indeed it speaks to the soul. It is a courageous book. \nSponsored by:

SUMMARY:A U.S. Poet Laureate in Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Billy Collins’ new collection\, Whale Day and Other Poems\, brings together more than fifty poems and showcases his deft mixing of the playful and the serious that has made him one of our country’s most celebrated and widely read poets. Here are poems that leap with whimsy and imagination\, yet stay grounded in the familiar\, common things of everyday experience. Collins takes us for a walk with an impossibly ancient dog\, discovers the original way to eat a banana\, meets an Irish spider\, and even invites us to his own funeral. Sensitive to the wonders of being alive as well as the thrill of mortality\, Whale Day builds on and amplifies Collins’ reputation as one of America’s most interesting and durable poets. \nModerated by Campbell McGrath\, Nouns & Verbs: New and Selected Poems. \nSponsored by:

SUMMARY:Alicia Zuckerman: The Sally J. Freedman Reality Tour with Judy Blume
DESCRIPTION:Alicia Zuckerman first started doing research for The Sally J. Freedman Reality Tour when she was about 9 years old\, making this her longest-running project. Judy Blume‘s 1977 young adult book\, Starring Sally J. Freedman as Herself\, was Zuckerman’s introduction to Miami Beach\, and one of her very favorite Blume books. When she found herself living in Sally’s neighborhood a few decades later\, she was surprised by the ways in which the area felt familiar. And she wondered – would Judy Blume come take a walk with her through some of Sally’s old haunts? But what Zuckerman didn’t realize was that Sally’s Miami Beach was Judy’s Miami Beach. \n“It is my most autobiographical book\,” Blume told Zuckerman during that walk. “Those two years were the most important two years of my childhood.” \nCome along as the beloved author walks us through her old neighborhood and talks about how her time in Miami Beach shaped not only Sally J. Freedman\, but the beloved and fearless writer Blume would become.

SUMMARY:Witches\, Wolves\, and Women
DESCRIPTION:Grades 9 – 12 \nIn Wayward Witch by Zoraida Córdova\, Rose Mortiz has brand new powers that she doesn’t understand\, and her family is still trying to figure out how to function in the wake of her amnesiac father’s return home. Then\, on the night of her Death Day party\, Rose discovers her father’s memory loss has been a lie. As she rushes to his side\, the two are ambushed and pulled through a portal to the land of Adas\, a fairy realm hidden in the Caribbean Sea. If Rose wants to return home so that she can repair her broken family\, she must figure out how to heal Adas first. \nIn Romina Garber’s Lobizona\, Manuela Azul has been crammed into an existence that feels too small for her. As an undocumented immigrant who’s on the run from her father’s Argentine crime family\, Manu is confined to a small apartment and a small life in Miami – until her protective bubble is shattered. Without a home\, without answers\, and finally without shackles\, Manu investigates the only clue she has about her past\, which leads her to a secret world buried within our own. A world straight out of Argentine folklore\, where the seventh consecutive daughter is born a “bruja\,” or witch\, and the seventh consecutive son is a “lobizón\,” a werewolf. \nSponsored by

The speakers in these hilarious and melancholy poems depict a rich and varied emotional landscape that mirrors that of the state they long to leave\, dead or alive. They imagine themselves standing on ocean garbage patches\, contemplate the crabgrass on traffic medians\, and envision the new beauty of a submerged Miami Beach: “Famed art deco replaced by fire coral / and colorful parrot fish\, neon lights / restored by pulsating swarms of moon / jellyfish\, lit up like a Saturday night.” In one moment the strange becomes familiar\, only to become strange again in the next stanza. Taking inspiration from Campbell McGrath and Richard Blanco\, among others\, Francisco’s second book of poems\, A Sinking Ship is Still a Ship\, deals with climate change and the absurdities and difficulties of being a millennial Latinx in the Sunshine State. \nModerated by Ryan Rivas\, publisher of Burrow Press; with translator José Nicolás Cabrera-Schneider. \nSponsored by:

SUMMARY:Two Poets on Reaching Across Borders
DESCRIPTION:Guillotine: Poems traverses desert landscapes cut through by migrants\, the grief of loss\, betrayal’s lingering scars\, the border itself – great distances in which violence and yearning find roots. Through the voices of undocumented immigrants\, border patrol agents\, and scorned lovers\, award-winning poet Eduardo C. Corral writes dramatic portraits of contradiction\, survival\, and a deeply human\, relentless interiority. With extraordinary lyric imagination\, these poems wonder about being unwanted or renounced. What do we do with unrequited love? Is it with or without it that we would waste away? \nA name for the people of Honduras\, Catrachos: Poems is a term of solidarity and resilience. In these unflinching\, riveting poems\, Roy G. Guzmán reaches across borders – between life and death and between countries – invoking the voices of the lost. Part immigration narrative\, part elegy\, and part queer coming-of-age story\, Catrachos finds its own religion in fantastic figures such as the X-Men\, pop singers\, and the “Queerodactyl\,” which is imagined in a series of poems as a dinosaur sashaying in the shadow of an oncoming comet\, insistent on surviving extinction. With exceptional energy\, humor\, and inventiveness\, Guzmán’s debut is a devastating display of lyrical and moral complexity – an introduction to an immediately captivating\, urgently needed voice. \nSponsored by: \n \nIn partnership with

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.
