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:In Conversation: Contemplating a Paradise Lost
DESCRIPTION:Through a series of short memoirs\, Laura Valeri’s After Life as a Human visits Dog Island\, a remote\, amenity-deprived\, hurricane-prone islet where pelicans rule\, residents are resourceful\, and human ambition is suspect.

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

SUMMARY:A Sinking Ship is Still a Ship
DESCRIPTION:In Ariel Francisco’s Miami\, invasive lionfish are sympathetic creatures\, the beach succumbs to sea-level rise\, and “305 till I die” is a cry for help. 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.

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
