SUMMARY:Antonio Padilla & Michio Kaku: A Conversation
DESCRIPTION:In Fantastic Numbers and Where to Find Them: A Cosmic Quest from Zero to Infinity\, leading theoretical physicist and cosmologist Antonio Padilla offers an irreverent cosmic tour of nine of the most extraordinary numbers in physics\, offering a startling picture of how the universe works – and how mathematical truths have led to new understandings of the ultimate nature of reality. In The God Equation: The Quest for the Theory of Everything\, Michio Kaku explores the search for the holy grail of physics that would explain the creation of the universe. Here is perhaps the ultimate challenge in physics: synthesizing its two remaining theories\, relativity\, and quantum theory. This\, a magnificent equation to unlock its deepest mysteries\, would be science’s crowning achievement. Joining them to moderate is Sheyum Syed\, associate professor of physics at the University of Miami.

SUMMARY:Percival Everett on Dr. No: A Novel: Fiction
DESCRIPTION:The protagonist of Percival Everett’s Dr. No: A Novel is a brilliant professor of mathematics who goes by “Wala Kitu.” Wala\, he explains\, means “nothing” in Tagalog\, as does Kitu\, in Swahili – he is an expert on nothing. That is to say\, he is an expert\, and his area of study is nothing\, and he does nothing about it. This makes him the perfect partner for aspiring villain John Sill\, whose desire to become a literal Bond villain originated in some genuine nefariousness around the murder of Martin Luther King Jr. Joining Everett is writer and fiction editor David Lerner Schwartz.

SUMMARY:Rhea Ewing on Fine: A Comic About Gender: Nonfiction
DESCRIPTION:When Rhea Ewing neared college graduation in 2012\, they became consumed by the question: “What is gender?” The obsession sparked a quest in which they eagerly approached friends and strangers in their quiet Midwest town for interviews to turn into comics. A decade later\, Fine: A Comic About Gender now presents a sweeping portrait of the intricacies of gender expression with interviewees from all over the country. Questions such as “How do you identify?” produced fiercely honest stories about adolescence\, taking hormones\, and changing pronouns. The answers also underscored how these experiences can differ – often drastically – depending on culture\, race\, and religion. Moderating is Joan Hilty\, executive editor at Avatar Studios.

SUMMARY:Sharon Olds on Balladz: Poetry
DESCRIPTION:“At the time of have-not\, I look at myself in this mirror\,” writes Sharon Olds in Balladz\, a self-scouring\, exhilarating volume which opens with a section of quarantine poems\, and at its center boasts what she calls Amherst Balladz (whose syntax honors Emily Dickinson: “she was our Girl – our Woman – / Man enough – for me”) and many more in her own contemporary\, long-flowing-sentence rhythm. Olds sings of her childhood\, young womanhood\, and maturity all mixed up together\, seeing an early lover in the one who is about to buried; seeing her white privilege without apology; seeing her mother (whom her readers will recognize) “flushed exalted at Punishment time”; seeing how we’ve spoiled the Earth but carrying a stray indoor spider carefully back out to the garden. It is Olds’ gift to us that in the richly detailed exposure of her sorrows she can still elegize songbirds\, her true kin\, and write that heaven comes here in life\, not after it. Joining her to moderate is Mary Sutton\, Academy of American Poets senior content editor. \nIn partnership with

SUMMARY:2021 National Poetry Series Winner Kien Lam
DESCRIPTION:The National Poetry Series was established in 1978 to recognize and promote excellence in contemporary poetry by ensuring the publication of five books of poetry annually through participating publishers. In addition\, the National Poetry Series has partnered with Miami Book Fair to award the Paz Prize in Poetry\, which ensures bilingual publication for a book of poems written in Spanish. This conversation features Kien Lam on Extinction Theory: Poems\, speaking with the judge who selected his manuscript\, Kyle Dargan\, Anagnorisis: Poems. Extinction Theory is a collection of pseudoscience poems that try to provide rationales for some of life’s most salient mysteries. Where is God? What does it mean to belong? Who killed the dinosaurs? Lam creates new worlds with new rules to better answer these perennial questions. His poetry is that of discovery\, of looking at the world as if for the first time. He exposes the transitory and transcendent nature of things and how we find meaning. With a special introduction by Daniel Halpern\, founder of HarperCollins imprint Ecco and the National Poetry Series. \nIn partnership with

SUMMARY:Desiree Cooper on Nothing Special: Picture Book
DESCRIPTION:Six-year-old Jax can’t wait to leave Detroit and spend a week with his grandparents in coastal Virginia\, where he’s sure he’ll be spoiled with the kinds of special things he enjoys at home: toys\, movies\, and hamburgers. As he dreams of the adventures he’ll have\, his PopPop has other ideas. He fills their days with timeless summer fun – crabbing\, shucking corn\, and counting fireflies. Illustrated entirely of repurposed textiles\, Nothing Special by Desiree Cooper celebrates the enduring connection between the generations who stayed in the South and the millions of emigrants for whom it will always be home. Between 1910 and 1970\, more than 6 million African Americans left the Jim Crow South\, but they never forgot the culture\, the land\, and the family they left behind. In the decades since\, it has become a summer ritual for many Black families to reverse the journey and return South for a visit to their homeplaces. Introduction by the Miami Mom Collective. Grades PreK-2 \nIn partnership with

SUMMARY:2021 National Poetry Series Winner Su Cho
DESCRIPTION:The National Poetry Series was established in 1978 to recognize and promote excellence in contemporary poetry by ensuring the publication of five books of poetry annually through participating publishers. In addition\, the National Poetry Series has partnered with Miami Book Fair to award the Paz Prize in Poetry\, which ensures bilingual publication for a book of poems written in Spanish. This conversation features Su Cho on The Symmetry of Fish\, speaking with the judge who selected her manuscript\, Paige Lewis\, Space Struck. Language and lore are at the core of The Symmetry of Fish\, a moving debut about coming-of-age in the middle of nowhere. With striking and tender insight\, it seeks to give voice to those who have been denied their stories\, and examines the way phrases and narratives are passed down through immigrant families – not diluted over time\, but distilled into potency over generations. In this way\, a family’s language is not lost but continuously remade\, hitched to new associations\, and capable of blooming anew\, with the power to cut across space and time to unearth buried memories. With a special introduction by Daniel Halpern\, founder of HarperCollins imprint Ecco and the National Poetry Series. \nIn partnership with

SUMMARY:U.S. Poet Laureate Ada Limón & Robert Casper: A Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Ada Limón returns to the Miami Book Fair to celebrate her new appointment as the 24th U.S. Poet Laureate and The Hurting Kind\, an astonishing collection about interconnectedness between the human and nonhuman\, ancestors and ourselves. What does it mean to be the hurting kind? To be sensitive not only to the world’s pain and joys\, but to the meanings that bend in the scrim between the natural world and the human world? To divine the relationships between us all? To perceive ourselves in other beings – and to know that those beings are resolutely their own\, that they “do not / care to be seen as symbols”? With Limón’s remarkable ability to trace thought\, The Hurting Kind explores those questions – incorporating others’ stories and ways of knowing\, making surprising turns\, and always reaching a place of startling insight. Presented in partnership with the Library of Congress and O\, Miami; moderated by Robert Casper\, head of Poetry and Literature at the Library of Congress. \nPresented in partnership with \nSponsored by  \n\nFunding for this program was provided through a grant from Florida Humanities with funds from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

SUMMARY:An Evening With Anne Rice & Victoria Wilson: On Prince Lestat: The Vampire Chronicles
DESCRIPTION:There are many bestselling authors\, but few can legitimately claim that they reinvented a literary genre. By blending the supernatural with the gothic\, Anne Rice’s first novel\, Interview with the Vampire\, did just that. The ensuing Vampire Chronicles series created both a cult following and great mainstream success. Rice was the author of more than 40 books\, ranging in topics and genres from religion to erotica. Collectively\, her books have sold more than 100 million copies\, which made her one of the most widely read authors in modern history. In Prince Lestat: The Vampire Chronicles – which here Rice is discussing with her editor\, Victoria Wilson\, at Miami Book Fair 2014 – she once again summoned the irresistible spirit-world of the undead\, including the dazzling\, dangerous rebel-outlaw and the great hope of the undead: Prince Lestat.

SUMMARY:Brendan Kiely Presents The Other Talk: Reckoning with Our White Privilege
DESCRIPTION:Talking about racism can be hard\, but … \nMost kids of color grow up talking about racism. They have “The Talk” with their families – the honest talk about survival in a racist world. \nBut white kids don’t. They’re barely spoken to about race at all – and that needs to change. Because not talking about racism doesn’t make it go away. Not talking about white privilege doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. \nBrendan Kiely’s The Other Talk: Reckoning with Our White Privilege begins this much-needed conversation for white kids. In an instantly relatable and deeply honest account of his own life\, Brendan Kiely offers young readers a way to understand one’s own white privilege and why allyship is so vital\, so that we can all start doing our part – today. Joining are Brian Knowles and Lisa Seymour\, School District of Palm Beach County. \nGrades 9 – 12
