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:

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:Yusef Komunyakaa: A Reading From Night Animals
DESCRIPTION:The poems in Yusef Komunyakaa’s Night Animals climb so deeply into the being of various beasts\, from cricket to leopard to snowy owl\, that we read them with an uncanny shiver of recognition. Without ever fully abandoning his human skin\, Komunyakaa inhabits both the outer and inner lives of these creatures. The images are a brilliant match for the poems\, each of Rachel Bliss’s surreal animals populate a realm somewhere between our two species – birds with teeth\, men with antlers\, a duck wearing suspenders. Both image and word are dense and dark\, intensely focused around a kind of hunger. The poet has been startling us with his rich\, disturbing\, and important poems for many years. Night Animals extends Komunyakaa’s remarkable oeuvre. \nSponsored by:

SUMMARY:Deborah Paredez: A Reading From Year of the Dog: Poems
DESCRIPTION:Year of the Dog refers to the year 1970 – the Year of the Metal Dog in the lunar calendar – which was the year of the author’s birth\, the year her father prepared to deploy to Vietnam along with many other Mexican-American immigrant soldiers\, and a year of tremendous upheaval across the United States. Images from iconic photographs and her father’s snapshots are incorporated\, fragmented\, scrutinized\, and reconstructed throughout the collection as Deborah Paredez recalls untold stories from a war that changed her family and the nation. In poems and lamentations that evoke Hecuba\, the mythic figure so consumed by grief over the atrocities of war that she was transformed into a howling dog\, and La Llorona\, the weeping woman in Mexican folklore who haunts the riverbanks in mourning and threatens to disturb the complicity of those living in the present\, Paredez recontextualizes the Vietnam era\, from the arrest of Angela Davis to the haunting image of Mary Ann Vecchio at the Kent State Massacre\, never forgetting the outcry and outrage that women’s voices have carried across time. \nModerated by poet Leslie Sainz. \nSponsored by:

SUMMARY:2019 National Poetry Series Winners
DESCRIPTION:Special introduction by Daniel Halpern\, founder of HarperCollins imprint Ecco and the National Poetry Series. \nThe 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 Heid E. Erdrich on Little Big Bully\, in conversation with the judge who selected her manuscript\, Amy Gerstler\, Scattered at Sea. \nLittle Big Bully offers personal myth\, American and Native American contexts\, and allegories driven by women’s resistance to narcissists\, stalkers\, and harassers. The past for Indigenous people\, ecosystem collapse from near-extinction of bison\, and the present epidemic of missing and murdered Indigenous women underlie these poems. \nSponsored by:

SUMMARY:Home in the Last Place You Look: Modified & Makeshift Worlds
DESCRIPTION:In Garth Stein and Matthew Southworth‘s The Cloven\, a genetically modified human searches to belong but is confined to categorization based on his appearance. In Chris Gooch‘s Under-Earth\, a makeshift underworld prison sets the tone for two parallel stories to converge\, both confined by loneliness. Watch these incredible authors and illustrators as they talk about the trappings of loneliness and the search for home\, connection\, and family as their characters move underground or through the Pacific Northwest – and ultimately inward – finding a safe space in the unlikeliest place. \nModerated by Heidi MacDonald\, editor-in-chief of comics blog The Beat.

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:It Takes Two: On Writing Novels in Verse
DESCRIPTION:Grades 3 – 7 \nModerated by Ismery Pavon\, program coordinator at Miami Book Fair. \nBefore he was a household name\, Cassius Clay was a kid with struggles like any other. Kwame Alexander and James Patterson join forces to vividly depict the legendary boxer’s life up to age 17 in both prose and verse\, including his childhood friends\, struggles in school\, the racism he faced\, and his discovery of boxing. Readers will learn about Clay’s family and neighbors in Louisville\, Kentucky\, and how\, after a thief stole his bike\, Clay began training as an amateur boxer at age 12. Before long\, he won his first Golden Gloves bout and began his transformation into the unrivaled Muhammad Ali. Fully authorized by and written in cooperation with the Muhammad Ali estate – and vividly brought to life by Dawud Anyabwile’s dynamic artwork – Becoming Muhammad Ali captures the budding charisma and youthful personality of one of the greatest sports heroes of all time. \nPunching the Air\, a novel in verse\, tells the story of Amal Shahid\, who has always been an artist and a poet. Then one fateful night\, an altercation in a gentrifying neighborhood escalates into tragedy. Suddenly\, at just sixteen years old\, Amal’s bright future is upended: he is convicted of a crime he didn’t commit and sent to prison. Despair and rage almost sink him until he turns to the refuge of his words\, his art. This never should have been his story. But can he change it? \nFREE bonus download: Becoming Muhammad Ali Educator’s Guide
